It was during the Bush administration that the naked body scanners were first approved
Digital Penetration: Invasion of the naked body scanners. (2007)

<...>

Last week, TSA began using backscatters at airports to screen passengers for weapons. The first machine is up and running in Phoenix. The next ones will be in New York and Los Angeles.

But even the tempered images tell you more than you need to know about the endowments of the people seated next to you.

April 2009 Naked Body Scanners, Continued

6. What has occurred over the years is a type of Gleichschaltung
It doesn't translate to english very well but go ahead and google it.
Wikipedia doesn't really do it justice but its a start.
