Is that the same company for whom Michael Cherthoff works? He, who, as secretary of the Department of Homeland (in)Security, was instrumental in the legislation and mandate of such devices and the award of contracts for same?

Nobody would go through those scanners if the alternative were not having a TSA agent sticking his hands down your pants. The only reason for the abusive pat-downs is to force people into the scanners, and the only reason for the scanners is so that “connected” insiders like George Soros can scam tax dollars.

Same for TWIC cards they wear (transportation workers identity card), it's just a cash stream for Dick Cheney's dog tag company.

Surely you are not saying that Cheney owns Northrup Grumman. Even so, I checked all their websites and I cannot find anywhere any reference to any division making identification tags. I will need a little more help to verify what you said:

That's what it said on the paperwork when I got my TWIC dogtag.
They are #3 at the Pentagon hog trough.
Keep looking, you find lot's of interconnections.
They go to great lengths to confuse the average person looking for clues, but that's showbiz.

Yes, they do a lot of work for the DoD but Cheney and Grumman were in a prolonged and heated battle when Cheney was Sec. of Def. Grumman wanted to sell the Pentagon hundreds of new F-14s but Cheney said that the ones they already had could be refurbished and upgraded for half the price. It was quite a drawn out political battle.
I can't find anything that says Grumman makes ID tags nor that ties Cheney to Grumman. I think you may be mistaken.

Yes, Rapiscan was a client of Chertoff's company and Chertoff has lobbied hard for those scanners.
