I just can't possibly imagine ever caring if someone (especially some random GS-5 government employee behind a wall) were to see a greyscale image of my kind-of-nude body. Why on earth do we care? Sure, we're entitled to privacy in our daily lives, in our homes, but there's definitely a case to be made that you have to give up some of that when you board a pressurized metal missile with 60 other people you don't know for extended periods of time.
