If I may quibble a bit...
Do we want to minimize it, or do we want some (supposedly) optimal balance of cost, inconvenience, and risk, or do we want something else?
To minimize the risk is simple enough. Drug the passengers into an unconscious state. Stack the naked bodies in racks. Fly them to a destination. Unload them. Let them dress when they awaken. Clearly, that won't fly (pun intended).
We could use a proved, effective system - as done by El Al. But we don't because of cost.
Perhaps our real problem is that we haven't defined what we want very well, so we aren't generating concise answers. Instead, we're going after gardeners who have jars of honey.
