Of course the arguments for governments doing full backscatter body image scans are fundamentally the same as the arguments for getting access to encrypted mail and voice calls. As India is doing in this other currently popular story here on HN: http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/india/100831/blackberry-research-in-motion-ban http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/india/100831/blackberry-r... If we're happy to have government agents inspect our private parts to board a plane, why shouldn't we be happy for them to inspect our emails and phone calls to be able to communicate with each other? Email and phone calls aren't any more of a right than freedom of movement are they? Technology should be increasing not decreasing the effectiveness of our freedoms. And us folks who make it should have liberty on our brains as we hack away.
