If cops knock on your door can you answer it naked?

I was wondering what would happen if you happen to be naked "getting dressed" and the cops knocked on your door? Could you just answer the door naked?

Or would you get arrested for being naked answering the door?

There's no law against being naked in your own house. 

You may legally answer the door naked provided you stay inside your house.

But it won't make me or any other cops go away. And if I/we arrest you for whatever crime I/we are investigating, you will go to jail naked if you don't get dressed when I request you to do so.

That happened on Cops show once. The guy was arrested but he was arrested for drug charges and not for being naked.

Go ahead and try it? lol
