Naked Scanner Lady Liberty t-shirts selling like hot cakes

Is ogling lady liberty's hot cakes making us a better nation? Apparently even the liberal gays of Chicago's boystown have had enough and are buying these t-shirts to send a message to the TSA.

Every time Americans are harassed, a terrorist smiles.

Is there a motive for U.S. Government to harass traveling public?

It seems odd to me that the rules on pat-downs were changed so drastically this past week. Now the TSA agents are required to shove their hands down inside the underwear of American travelers? Yikes! And the alternative is to submit to irradiation via naked body scan? Yikes!

Could it be that more people are opting out of the body scan due to reasons of modesty or avoiding radiation*? Could it be that the government WANTS people scanned? Could the new pat grope-down rules be an attempt to punish people for refusing the scan? Could the government want to compile biometric data on us? Or is it all due to the latest terrorist threats?

Just askin'.

* Possible health risks: 'They say the risk is minimal, but statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays,' Dr Michael Love, who runs an X-ray lab at the department of biophysics and biophysical chemistry at Johns Hopkins University's prestigious school of medicine, told AFP.
'No exposure to X-ray is considered beneficial. We know X-rays are hazardous but we have a situation at the airports where people are so eager to fly that they will risk their lives in this manner,' he said.
A group of scientists at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) raised scanner health concerns in a letter sent to the White House Office of Science and Technology earlier this year.
'While the dose would be safe if it were distributed throughout the volume of the entire body, the dose to the skin may be dangerously high,' they wrote.

And what about those of us who have cancer in the family or skin cancer in the past? Should we not opt out of any radiation that could trigger cancer?

Naked Body Scanners-New Stimulus Plan

NewsCastDaily noticed that the images look an awful lot like full color negatives:

What happens if you invert the full body scan images which is then a positive picture? You don’t need to be a computer expert, using any software suite like Photoshop will work. Inverting a photo is a simple process that takes one click and is an option available even in the most basic image editing software. When you invert some of these images you get a naked body in full living color. I don’t think the American people will stand for these results. If this system gets put into service, how long before naked photos of people start showing up all over the internet. Now we know why the full body scanners break child porn laws in the UK.

According to Fox News:

The first (3) of 150 full-body scanners planned for U.S. airports will be installed in Boston next week, officials said Tuesday....
The rest of the 150 machines that were purchased with $25 million from President Barack Obama's 2009 stimulus plan are expected to be installed in airports by the end of June, another homeland security official, spokeswoman Amy Kudwa.

This is what some on Twitter are retweeting:

Expect Muslims to boycott the 150 U.S. Airports receiving the full body scanners. Good! Those airports will become the safest to fly out of.

Edited to add:
Bungalow Bill points out in comments that there may be more to it. Like the government may want these detailed images in order to identify Americans through biometrics. He says:
"There has to be other reason the government wants to record a person’s naked body. I fear, with all the talk before the election and with the formation of a national database, rumored to be under development by GE’s Healthymagination, these images could easily be stored and used for other purposes, including technology that matures from today’s face recognition software—bio metric software. These images could be used to identify people later on."
