What I want to know about the naked airport xray machine

It seems they've come up with an airport security machine that can show what a person looks like under their clothes.

A couple of thoughts occur to me:

1. Does it show distribution of body hair? Because, to me at least, if they want to see my shape that's fine, but the distribution of my body hair in areas covered by clothing is personal.

2. If a person has something in a body cavity, can they tell what it is from the machine? The last thing you want is to get pulled aside for a cavity search because you're wearing a menstrual cup or an IUD or something.
