I might as well just strip on the sidewalk and then enter the terminal.

Tell me just whom is going to pay for all this ultra expensive equipment?
Dogs are cheaper, and better and less invasive.

Tell me do you want your wife to be viewed by some stranger?

Trains, cars and boats. Help yourself.

Israel's cracked this nut. Find success, imitate.
The right to privacy is suggested in several amendments to our constitution but despite common belief it is not specifically enumerated.

You could say that you have the:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." (Amendment IV)

Given the circumstances, being sniffed by a dog, or being subjected to an invasive scan seems worth the convenience of lower risk air travel.
