Your point is true, Maureen. The people scanning you do not know you, where you live, or anything about you.

I for one don't often show off my 'naked' body to random strangers.

Usually doctors, who for the most part, take their job seriously and act mature and responsible to even the most embarrassed nude patient. But even so, these doctors usually know personal things about you as well as who you are. So being nude in front of a doctor isn't so bad, really.

While the photo shows only a grainy image, it still looks pretty precise on the shapes. Furthermore, I quote this article, "However, in this USA Today article, one official said that the body imaging capabilities are just being tapped." which implies they are looking to 'improve' the machine's capabilities. What looks like a grainy image now may look like a nude photograph later.

I think I'll always prefer to show off my nude body to someone I at least have gotten to know. I won't be joining nudist camps, and I won't feel right having a half-brained airline employee staring at my shit. Not without a couple dates.

But, to each, their own.
