TSA Revolt: Body Scanning for Profit

An important detail being left out of mainstream media reports about the new airport body scanning devices is that former Department of Homeland Security Chief, Michael Chertoff is personally profiting from them. Last year, his former office, the Department of Homeland Security awarded a US$160 million contract to Rapiscan, a manufacturer of these new devices and one of his main clients at The Chertoff Group, the security consultancy firm of which he is Chairman. Chertoff has been stumping for these devices on any news program that will have him.

Besides the fact that Chertoff is illegally advertising his product during news programs while pretending to be a public servant, there is a legitimate debate about the medical safety of these new body scanning devices: There is no dose of back-scatter ionizing radiation that has ever been proven to be safe.
