I'm less worried about the privacy aspects than I am about the particular side effects of the radiation those things use to scan with and how several prominant scientisits believe this to be the next best thing to tap dancing inside an active nuclear reactor in terms of what it does to your DNA overr time.
Last time I heard about the radiation consequences, it was orders of magnitude less potent than a dental x-ray.
~1% of scientists don't think evolution is a fact, either, so I suppose you can always find a few scientists who will say just about anything.
Either way, the next "threat" is going to be in some nutjob's colon, and following this trend, everyone who wants to board an airplane will be subject to a mandatory cavity search. And they'll be singing God Bless America as a 4 year old girl's ****** is being searched for bombs.
