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.

Subject: OT: Camera inspections at airport security
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?
