And, let's not forget that former homeland security secretary Michael Chertoff is the founder of the Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm whose clients include manufacturers of full-body scanners.
"Mr. Chertoff should not be allowed to abuse the trust the public has placed in him as a former public servant to privately gain from the sale of full-body scanners,'' opined Kate Hanni, founder of FlyersRights.org, which opposes use of the scanners.
Chertoff's group represents Rapiscan, a California based firm "which until recently was the only company qualified to sell full-body scan machines to the TSA." Last summer, "TSA purchased 150 machines from Rapiscan with $25 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds."
A better name might be RapeScan.
