Yeah, my title is a joke. But does our privacy matter more than security? I can imagine a gaggle of third graders giggling and pointing, but as an adult — and given that the face is obscured — I don’t care if the TSA wants this photo of me and other air travelers (via USA Today’s article, “‘Fatwa’ forbids Muslims going through full-body scanners“):
And, dare I ask — dare I? — if this particular group (“the Fiqh Council of North America – a body of Islamic scholars”) should be issuing a fatwa “forbidding Muslims to go through full body scanners because it violates Islamic rules on modesty”?

Beware of the government scanning pictures of your naked body. The government could use these pictures in the future to blackmail outspoken Americans.
