I was not fearing being locked up for anything that happened that day as I clearly did nothing wrong. And there was no requirement for me to subsequently report the problems with this technology as the operators had that duty themselves, being clearly aware of it. But there may have been a requirement for me to not report the problem publicly myself as the machines were presumably still in operation. Obviously "locked up" is a hyperbole, but presumably it's never worth the trouble to find out by how much.

I personally find it humiliating to have a nudiscan in public, especially when it then falsely identifies me as having "concealments". Anyway the way this machine was being operated would contravene the new rules, and for good reason.

That a strip-search is "basic" or "routine" is orthogonal to it being a humiliating violation of ones person.

Who said anything about a strip search? Wait a second....someone told this person to take off their clothes, then proceeded to physically touch them and probe their orifices searching for contraband?

I don't think it's reasonable to compare what happened with a strip search. And I don't see how what happened is all that humiliating, though I get the sense I'm probably just not as sensitive as many others. I find the security measures annoying and frustratingly misguided, but not humiliating.

You seem to be confusing a strip search with a body cavity search.

These machines are an electronic means of performing a strip search. There should be nothing controversial in that claim.

You're right. I always thought that a strip search would also include some kind of physical searching while nude in order to ensure that nothing is hidden in hair, folds, and at least the mouth orifice.
