Do you want some random dude looking at your adult daughter trhough one of these.
By passing through a scanner, what will be revealed about a person that is truly of any consequence? They have a 'small' penis? They are fat? They have various health problems? Deformities? So basically, the technician may, at worst, have knowledge about a person that is certainly already known by other people. Do you think the technician is going to write this stuff down and blackmail people? I just don't understand what the assumed horrible consequence is.
Also, you seem to be reducing humans to soulless machines. By your logic it should be possible to swear at any person i encounter on the street. After all, it's just a bunch of sounds.
Or do children get to bypass the scanner, giving the terrorists useful mules for carrying forbidden objects onto the plane?
Doctors don't take photos (or other media) of naked children, so there is no pornography involved. Obviously if they do take photos, there is a crime. Likewise if they touch a child inappropriately, there is a (different) crime.
In the case of the body scanners, images are taken, thus it is pornography, and a crime.
And of course, MDs are actually screened and have thorough background checks where-as there have been multiple instances [2] of TSA employees not being thoroughly screened.

"In the case of the body scanners, images are taken, thus it is pornography, and a crime."
Please read the whole sentence before saying it is a crime, unless you are implying all TSA employees enjoy sexual excitement while watching their screens.
Why don't you try putting an ad in your local paper for random children to pose nude for you, just make sure to keep all the photos on your hard drive for editing purposes.
No it doesn't. Taking pictures with the potential for sexual excitement and taking pictures for the purposes of sexual excitement are two completely different things.
However, may I remind you that my original point (although maybe bad formulated) was that these pictures were fine as long as they were, of course, immediately disposed. Stealing this pictures for one's personal interest is of course a crime, but you cannot assume everyone will do so.
Nope, its an important factor sure. But not the only factor - or even the most important.

Maybe it wouldn't work in that way exactly; but you can take pictures of children if they have serious artistic value (I cant remember the exact wording).
I wouldn't advise trying it though.
CP laws are, as with all computer crime, all about intent :)
Seems like it should be a pretty good job to have if one were into that kind of thing- tons of access, not much oversight, and legal to boot!
EDIT: I then went on a Google hunt and found an article from Wired [1] in 2002 that says 'U.S. law defines kiddie porn as depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, such as intercourse and masturbation, or that show "lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area."'
By that definition however none of these cell-phone cases would be considered child porn, so apparently the US gov't has changed their stance on the issue in the past 8 years.
No.
(I did answer this question a couple of times before :))
Plus using your logic you will not mind your daughter strip in a room full of random guys, hoping that will be the first and last encounter.
Meh, adult daughters can decide on their own anyway up to what levels they are willing to make themselves seen.
It's hard being a specialist but almost anyone can apply for security.
Well in my case if I had to I'd ask for female security officer (or gynecologist for that matter).
