As someone who knows next to nothing about inside trading, it seems to me that if so many airports across the US will be required to use this new technology, and I had a bunch of stock invested in said technology, that I wouldn’t be dumping said stocks, because it stands to reason that I would make a big PROFIT keeping those stocks—UNLESS I *knew* that US airports would NOT be purchasing a multitude of these ‘nude-o-scopes’—but that’s just ignorant me!

One thing I guess we can agree on - you know nothing about insider trading.

George Soros is worth in excess of $24.2B. This transaction represents less than 0.0028% of his net worth. I would wager $1K that he doesn't even know that he owns this stock, and that the sale was made by predetermined metrics established by his money-manager.

If you're going to risk exposure to a felony conviction, you're not going to risk it on a financial upside that is less than what you probably spend on cut-flowers each year. Just saying.

Common sense is our friend.
