It's not a matter of being a 'puritanical society', if people see how the images look like they would be really upset (the ones you can find online are re-touched, they don't show as much as the real image).
And yes, I saw the image from other passenger boarding (well, it was my hubby) - so probably things are not as they are telling us... it's not only TSA personnel looking at them.
