Thoraiya DyerLegalized airport voyeurism?

I've been discussing the idea of privacy for so long that it's making me sick now. [This demented world has kept me out of touch with reality.] So if I ask 'regular Dan' who lives a virtual as well as a real life, "Do you care about surveillance, does privacy mean anything to you?" He'd simply shake his head and say, "No, I don't care."
So, well, that justifies why everyone is now entitled to voyeurism and the Youtube is a total success. It's given us a different kind of freedom more than what we'd initially asked for.
Dan who happens to spend the holidays in New York and takes a plane via Sky Harbor's Terminal 4 will go through the airport X-ray screening and bare his whole body details to the airport personnel. The idea is to detect concealed explosives and other weapons in the passengers' bodies.
"So, is that cool with you, Dan?" I say.
"Yeah," he says. "It really doesn't matter."
In the future, we won't need X-ray screening in airports to scan our bodies in public. Our bodies alone sending off chemical signals will be detected by environmental nanosensors, giving the government and other users of this technology a license to know what's going on, wherever, whenever, about citizens' whereabouts.
It makes me wonder how privacy became a 'human sentiment' in the first place.
