The airport full-body scanners are made
by ex-DHS chief Michael Chertoff's consulting client

..................

This goes to show just how how constant threats of “terror” are used to create new markets for products nobody needs. The public is then intimidated into compliance in the name of “national security,” when in reality they’re sacrificing their dignity, their civil liberties and their tax dollars for the sake of enormous profits:

2005: Michael Chertoff, as head of Homeland Security, orders the first batch of porno scanners from a company called Rapiscan Systems. After his departure, Chertoff gave dozens of interviews using his government credentials to promote the device. What he didn’t tell people was that Rapiscan was one of the clients of his consulting company, The Chertoff group.

1. Cross posted to FB. This is outrageous and this is how it works now.

Position yourself to create markets with tax payer money then watch the dough roll in. :puke:

2. Yes. And what's even worse is that you have the current head of

DHS forcing passengers into the machines or be sexually assaulted for opting out.
