Have you seen images from these 'naked' xrays? They're not really naked. They scan to see what you are hiding.
I was listening to a conspiracy radio show the other night about this. Quite hilarious actually.
Pretty much the same thing. Some paranoid person not wanting to go through the 'nekkid ray thing' then said yes you can pat me down, once they started with that, freaking out when the pat down happens and wanted them to stop. So they stopped. They had to do one or the either to let them fly.

This guy is a paranoid douche. I hope he has a suit slapped on him. He made it difficult for them to do their jobs. If you don't know what you're getting into, don't buy a plane ticket. They have the right to strip search you. Don't like it? Drive or take a train.
