This isn't about religion. It's about invasion of privacy and degradation of the human spirit by an uncontrolled government bureaucracy that thinks it has a free hand by waving around the fear flag. This smells like the McCarthy era.

Of course its not about religion in itself. Religion is only one aspect of this, there were others: "Administrative Procedure Act, the Privacy Act, the Video Voyeurism Prevention Act, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and the Fourth Amendment"... there 4 other reasons.

Not sure why you choose to pick on religion in itself when it was within context of other reasons. For those of a religious persuasion the invasion of privacy may be an additional problem on top of the normal intrusiveness of these scanners.
