“[v]isual body cavity searches are invasive and degrading, occasioning a serious invasion of privacy and working a significant harm to a person's bodily integrity. . . . They 'require an arrestee not only to strip naked in front of a stranger, but also to expose the most private areas of her body to others. This is often . . . done while the person arrested is required to assume degrading and humiliating positions.'”
