Airport Scanners violating human rights

Airports have taken new measures to increase security with new body scanners.  How these scanners work is that you stand with your hands up and it takes a digital x-ray image of you.  This is basically a virtual strip search of all the passengers.  As a frequent traveler, i feel violated having to walk through and take a picture.  I am all for taking precautionary measures but is this really the way to go?  I believe the system that was in place was fine.  By the aiport having this new scanner, i do not feel any safer than i was before.  I think the U.S. Government should step in and say this is a violation of human rights.  I am well aware that you can opt out and get a pat down.  Talking from experience, going through the body scanner is the better option.  The pat down takes a bit longer and they really do pat you down everywhere, and i do mean everywhere.  I felt more violated that now i just go through the scanner.  I felt like maybe T.S.A. could have used the money that was used on the scanners and have did other things with it, like better trained employees or put another system in place so passengers don't have to feel like they got violated just to travel.  If i could ride a bus to my house in Philadelphia i would, but the cost efficiency and the time would not be worth it so the only option i have is to take the plane.  I have a problem with it and i think its the U.S. Government needs to take action.  I am sure that i am not the only individual to feel like this and there has to be another way.  What if another incident does occur where a passenger brought a weapon on a plane and something bad went down?  What will T.S.A. do next?  What will their excuse be then?  That is what i am truly scared about.
