A full-body scanner is a device that creates an image of a person's nude body through their clothing to look for hidden objects without physically removing their clothes or making physical contact. In some situations, nudity is imposed on a person.

A feature of most private photographs and videos is that they are not intended for viewing outside of a very limited range of people, and seldom if ever by the general public. Prosecution of cases has given rise to a movement advocating " topfreedom ", promoting equal rights for women to have no clothing above the waist, on the same basis that would apply to men in the same circumstances.
