Airport full body scanners and children: appropriate?

What do you think about the airport full body scanners? I never considered it until now, but I realized that children are sometimes sent through the scanner should they not choose a patdown. I just saw a tiktok where a man showed his scan and you can see a clear outline of his genitals. It reminded me of the time I was 11 and had to go through this scanner. They made me choose between the patdown and scanner and I chose the scanner after pressure from the TSA agent getting upset at me. The image was being analyzed by a man in the open in a booth and showed my entire body.
