Note that the face on this image has been shopped. If it wasn't, you would be able to see the person's face. It isn't underwear you will see, as your post photo shows. Screener's will be viewing the full monty. I've seen these things in action and the potential for abuse is enormous. There'll be dozens of websites dedicated to seeing "Jessica Simpson's whole body image."

I think it would work if they could reduce the resolution to fuzzy up the area between shoulder and knee while still being focused on detecting foreign material. Dense plastic and metal will show up like a beacon with that thing - they don't need to be able to tell if you are circumcised.
