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.”
