If you are at a TSA controlled security checkpoint then you can ask for a private screening. I don't know about other jurisdictions
I vaguely have heard of this issue years ago with a woman who had a jacket with a lot of metal studs/broaches etc, and it caused a lot of attention.
Not that there have also been instances in the past of people deliberately stripping down so as to protest against the TSA.

Whenever you go through the metal detectors at the airport, you're asked to remove your jacket and put it in one of the plastic trays
Some airport securities don't ask to remove jacket, regardless of whether you're naked underneath.

If your jackets is thick enough to hide weapons in it, you will have to remove it. The same is true for your T-shirt(but T-shirts are normally not thick and have no futter), or whatever else you wear. It doesn't matter what is beyond.
If you don't want to remove anything in public, you can always ask for a separate screening, where an officer of your gender will check you in private.
Obviously, being 'naked beyond' cannot be an excuse, as otherwise every terrorist would just come naked under his jacket...

I cannot speak for the female gender and all airports but recently in Da Nang, Vietnam I spilled an entire cup of coffee on my sweater and had only a thin sports jacket with me so I removed my sweater and wore only the sports jacket through customs and once they realized I had nothing under they asked me to go come to one side for a pat down that was all no need take it off
