Airport security can effectively see you naked, if they care to. Why let them get all the fun? Nudity for the people!

Thank you. I've now got a quite funny/scary mental image of airport screeners outputting the scanner to a bigscreen TV pointed at the line of people waiting to be screened. Government reasoning?

"Instead of paying some guy to squint at this little screen to protect a flight he isn't on . . . we thought it would be easier to let the passengers handle it. They're highly trained to react to people saying 'Is that an assault rifle, or are you happy to see me?' while waiting in line. Plus, we now get fewer complaints about the wait to check-in."
