Proposing for Clothing Optional Airports!
As a proud U.S. citizen, I have no problem with nudity, but I have a problem with:
1- Unreasonable searches
2- The x-ray machines used to scan humans
You are told that the nude searches (i.e the x-ray scan) are ok, and that the x-ray machines are safe. Both are lies.
If you think the images are too, un-real, so they are not real nude images.. check out what I can do in 20 seconds.
1- Find a photo of a human via the x-ray machine

2- Invert it in photoshop, and

We have a nude woman!
Well, you might say this isn’t a real TSA x-ray photo.. maybe so, to be honest I don’t know for sure if this photo is a real one from TSA or not. To be on the safe side I decided to try something, being it is Sunday evening and I have some free time. Scroll down to see what I can do with other TSA photos (all found on google images).
The x-ray is pretty clear, it is basically a nude photo. You know, the kind of x-ray vision kids used to dream of, before the Internet was invented:

The software supposedly blurs the face and makes sure the x-ray stays as an x-ray (monotone colored, which is what you get with infrared (IR) and x-ray photography) or is in gray-scale, not resembling a more real-life color.. Many of the released images are of very low pixel resolution but I think that’s just because they are released publicly, if you look at the monitors at the airport the images look clear and I believe they can zoom-in on an area if they need to (i.e the original photos they have are of high resolution). The colors you see in the images here are nothing but an artistic rendering, not the real thing. These images are here to make a point, as I will explain next.
If they want me to be seen naked by a TSA officer, I rather strip naked, in fact, I can strip naked in public at the airport, so there is nothing hidden.. so all can see what really is being done here. i.e. a strip search. X-ray or not, this is a strip search. The x-ray just makes it more convenient for the customer, and separates the human contact one step by taking a photo rather than physically stand nude in-front another person. So, these scans are basically strip-searches, sugar coated.
Americans like to pretend sometimes, or the govt and corporations think they can sugarcoat things; take for instance hiding animals behind walls, in factory farms so we can pretend the meat we eat is not dead animals (animals that lived a miserable life, like slaves). We also like to pretend that being scanned in an airport is not a strip search; with your photo recorded, saved on a TSA computer, vulnerable to hacking and abuse.

I like reality, I know I eat dead animals and I respect the animals for it, it makes me more aware of “life”, as a result I make conscious choices about the meat I eat. Similarly, if they want to see me naked, well I rather get naked for real rather than get exposed to cancer-causing x-ray.
However, people would be up in arms if they had to actually strip naked, thus comes the x-ray trick to the rescue, another useless product that you are paying for because someone else wants to force you to do something you dont want to do.
