There was talk of testing these in Phoenix quite a while ago and I remember the discussion from then. If I remember correctly the idea is that the person viewing these images isn't even right next to the machine but rather in a secluded room where he or she is the only one to see them and he or she won't have contact with the people being screened.
Personally I don't have a problem with this because it seems like a pretty benign way of keeping planes safe. So what if some random person in a room 100 yards away sees a skewed picture of what my body looks like?
