Nudie-scan CEO an Obama ally
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/14/2010 | Timothy P. Carney

Posted on 11/21/2010 3:40:12 PM PST by Freedom56v2

Rapiscan is one of the two companies that makes the nudie-scanners at airports for the TSA. Rapiscan CEO Deepak Chopra (who has the same name as the more famous Deepak Chopra, M.D.) recently was tapped by Obama to accompany the administration on Obama’s trip to India.

Also, Chopra is an Obama donor.

It must be nice when people complain about using your device you can just get the ear of the big guy and voila - - you get the muscle to force any sniviling citizens into compliance.

One of the benefits of being “connected” in a fascist leaning administration...

also: The former Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, represents Rapiscan, the company which is selling these scanners to his former department.

Wow, this is priceless, purchased using Stimulus money????

Stimulus money? Groping? It's all coming together now.

This whole thing stinks of payola and backroom deals. The signature of democrat politics.

Yes, I believe that Chertoff is part of a lobby group that represents either this company or the other of the 2 scanner companies that are benefiting from the “increased need for security.” Greed knows no political affiliation....

Well I don’t think greed is limited to the dems, but it is interesting how this is all happening now and coming together...it is the Chicago way. So much for ethics and transparency...

Stimulus, oh how so stimulating !

“In the summer [2009], TSA purchased 150 machines from Rapiscan with $25 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.”

Don’t they have laws against lobbyists doing that sort of thing?

Whenever some onerous policy comes out of the White Hut, look for some friend(s) of Husein’s making a killing.

Couldn’t we have guessed this — and is the owner of the scanner Muslim too?
