Idealistically this is something that I would support, because anyone who has been arrested and will be put into the general population of a jail carries several risks with them inside (the article mentions some of these: weapons, drugs, other contraband). But, that entire thought is predicated on a thought that I would argue is counter to reality: that people are only arrested when there is good cause to detain that individual.
Basically, if the entirety of the law enforcement and judicial system worked, then I wouldn't have a problem with this, but if I have to fear being arrested for taking a photograph of a police officer, then I feel that the strip-searching would apply to those who shouldn't necessarily be in jail in the first place...
