i still dont see that as the big problem with it ( and i am normally all for privacy lol ) the problem is it wont make travelling any safer any how
the scanner companies are most likely loving the privacy side show as they haven't had to bother trying to cover up the glaring problems with their equipment when you read the info on them including that it most likely wouldn't have stopped either of those who tried to blow up planes

yep it may be more intrusive but it stands a better chance of working than the scanners
and in fact the scanners could make it less safe as if you pass it your very unlikely to face further checks
so if you have a plastic syringe and powder in your underpants you will now most likely be more likely to get on the plane than before where a pat down may very well brought about some suspicion about what you were carrying down there
