This protest would have been more effective if the protesters were more attractive.

nah.. you want the most unattractive to be models against nude scanning... hot women would only encourage it.

700 lb naked hairy man should be the model... with a sign covering his privates saying "Do you really want to see me naked?"

EPIC Files Lawsuit To Suspend Airport Body Scanner Use

PIC said that the program is "unlawful, invasive, and ineffective." EPIC argued that the federal agency has violated the Administrative Procedures Act, the Privacy Act, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and the Fourth Amendment. EPIC cited the invasive nature of the devices, the TSA's disregard of public opinion, and the impact on religious freedom. http://epic.org/privacy/body_scanners/epic_v_dhs_suspension_of_body.html One of the interesting claims in the current brief that was not included in EPIC’s original request for a stay is the allegation of a violation of the Video Voyeurism Prevention Act. That would be the law passed by Congress in 2004 that is used, in part, to fight upskirt filming. The Act [PDF] prohibits the filming of private parts — it makes an exception for cleavage — when individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy, even if they are in a public place.

The law specifies that it applies in “circumstances in which a reasonable person would believe that a private area of the individual would not be visible to the public, regardless of whether that person is in a public or private place.” http://blogs.forbes.com/kashmirhill/2010/11/02/should-the-law-that-protects-against-upskirt-filming-protect-against-tsa-body-scanners/
