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.”

Thanks for clarifying that.

Just more raping of the taxpayers to enrich the insiders.

I'm sure the media will be all over this real soon...
