Strip searches are intrusive not because they require the removal of clothing, but because they force the revelation of that which is ordinarily our prerogative to withhold.
Because of this, it is a well settled matter of law that they can only be performed under certain conditions, (on the order of entering prison, for example) and flight boarding is not one of them.
The fact that technologically assisted strip searches can now be done in bulk, without the removal of clothing is entirely immaterial to that point, and the entire matter is a power grab, attempting to create a precedent for mass strip searches of the public.
The whole thing, with picture, HERE.
