From my point of view I think I'd be more worried about a gay guy checking me on the screen over rather than a woman. Don't get me wrong about gays - I have several that are friends. I just don't think this is a situation where you can have such a simple solution because from everything I read the issue with scanners comes down to being sexual in nature.
It is possible that the male screener at the airport screening you could be gay, as it is possible that the cook at your favorite eatery didn't wash his hands after going to the bathroom, just prior to you placing your order. Something's in life we just have no control over, and like you said, this situation, as many other situations in life have no simple solutions, society can only put in place policies that benefit the majority.

Wow, that is wonderful, maybe I should become a security guard.
This is just a thought, but perhaps if the airport can have the same gender screening, they could have the same gender patting you down, and if they insist on doing a cavity search they are probably gay.
