There's a privacy fuss being made about a technology that would allow airport screeners to besically see theough everyone's clothing, and detect hidden weapons/threats. And I'm definitely a believer in people's right to privacy, but I'm not certain that this is the kind of privacy that I give a crap about. I care about intrusion into my activities and thoughts and feelings, about being spied upon. I am more concerned about the privacy that surrounds behavior, not the contour of my physical shape. But then, I'm not in a position where it's expected that someone who would leer at nudity would be leering at me. It's sort of a moot point. But do you care?

I'd rather have a screener see my naked rump than have them not see Osama with a box cutter or a bomb in his shoe! Lets be real people!
Maybe we should keep it egalitarian -- and make EVEYONE fly naked.
I'm not so sure that I want to see any of the people that were on my last flight naked! Lets just keep the X-ray machines so I can hold down my lunch!
