Note that they implemented this during the middle eastern wars started in 2001-2003, with the excuse of “terrorism” and not during the current wave of trans hyperawareness and bigotry.
Kinda like the first wave of internet censorship and monitoring which was implemented around 2007, and exposed by Snowden in ~2013
Checking out your naked form was a bonus back then, not the excuse. Also to pelt you with unnecessary radiation. I did not comply in 2018 when leaving the UK, but I did when leaving the US, because I didn’t want to try my chances in the US legal system, and wanted to leave ASAP.
If you want to exercise your rights, you can always prefer to be groped by a TSA/Your country’s equivalent instead of getting in the DickChecker9000. At least it slows down their job and forces them to do something instead of sitting by idly as they check out naked people.
