I think the reason is they believe that if a camera body has been gutted in
order to put in explosives or other such stuff that the viewfinder optics
could/might be destroyed or effected.  I would rather they look than not and
miss something.  same reason I have seen them make persons carrying a laptop
computer open it up and turn it on.

Why do the airport security guards insist on peering through the viewfinder
of a non-SLR camera? What do they think they're gonna see?
