New questions on body scanners

After the terrorist attempt to attack the flight from Amsterdam to Detroit it's been discussed the fact of including body scaners in the airports. Actually, they are already working in some airports from United States and they are plannig to introduce them in some european airpoirts.
They say it is for our security but, the big question is: are they breaking our intimacy?
The images produced by the TSA's new scanners don't leave much to the imagination. On the other hand, they are delivered to the airports without the capability to store, print or transmit images.
It's obvious that they can watch over in our security in a better way with these machines, but I think that the terrorists or those persons who traffic with drgus will continue doing it somehow.
What about our privacy? Actually, I think I woould feel strange, embarrased and intimidated if I had to pass on one of that body image scanners.
