Ok, so, like, I'm traveling from DTW to DCA last Wednesday. I'm standing in line waiting for the guy to look at the piece of paper that I printed myself to make sure it has the same name as my drivers license, and I'm watching what happens at the front of the line.
There are three bag xray things. Two of them flank metal detectors and a nude-a-scope. And off to the left is a metal detector and no scope. As people go through, they keep picking people from the far right lane to get scoped and groped. Hmmm, which line should I pick?
Last night I was the return trip. Only two lines at DCA. But the one on the right is closest to the scope. (And that is where the people that get to go through the short line seem to end up because they are coming in from the right.) Guess which line is getting porno-scanned. But, things are backing up, and when I get close there is some activity over to the left. Guess what? A third line opens up. And just like Detroit, there is no peep show booth over there either. Gee, which line should I pick this time?
Good thing "bad people" (and, apparently, frequent fliers) ain't smart enough to notice stuff like this.
Even better thing that "bad people" aren't able to spend 30 seconds on google to find out that the Nude Scanners are actually even less effective than metal detectors.

Shhhhhh! Don't give away the secret. Even if you're in the porno-scan line, its not too hard to speed up or slow down your 'disrobing' so that, by the time you're next, someone is already in the scanner and you get moved to the metal detector. I think I had 4 trips through security last week and not a single scan...
