I am retired from U.S. Customs, DHS and this is bad, very, very bad. Over my 30+ years with Customs mostly as an Inspector this is as wrong as anything I've seen. I conducted a lot of body searches during my tenure and they may have been embarrassing not only the the subject, but also me... I'd bet my life there's a lot of those pic's flying around where they aren't supposed to be. If they tried to do this to my wife or child, I'd want them to refuse... but I'm not getting in that xray machine.
