From what I've read, that appears to be the case. I recall reading he is the CEO of the company that manufactures them.
Soros also had stock invested but sold his shares, 11,000 of them after Glenn Beck exposed it. That was last Monday or the one before.
Chertoff runs a security consulting agency that was touting the scanners to the govt. The scanner company (Rapiscan...no, I am not making that up!) is a client of Chertoff’s company. He’s not the CEO.
And get this: “In the summer, TSA purchased 150 machines from Rapiscan with $25 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.”

11000 shares is not even a rounding error to soros, it is quite likely a money manager of his funds had bought the shares, and he ordered them sold when he realized he owned them. It is analogous to expecting a normal-wealth person to know every series of dollar bill they have.
