A no-brainer investment. The decision to deploy scanners like these was made some time ago, and all you had to do was invest in a portfolio of the likely producers of them (there aren’t many, and you pick the ones that are involved in government testing already). It’s not just these senators, the decisions are not secret, the RFP’s and BAA’s are published for everyone to read on the web.
You’ll find, probably, similar investments on the chemical sniffers in use at security checkpoints (Smiths Detection and GE, mostly).
People made gigabucks on “right turn on red” signs, missile systems, fighter jets (imagine if you had invested in Fairchild Camera in 1961).
I don’t want to pee on your parade, but I own over 100K in L3 Communications stock too. I own it through an employee stock purchase plan. There is a hell of a lot more to L3 Com than the one division that makes scanners. It is one of the best run companies in America and it’s stock is currently considered to be undervalued. Unless John Kerry recently purchased the stock, your arguement has no merit. It should be of no surprise that any weathy person’s stock portfolio has a healthy dose of L3 in it.

All those scanners, and they still haven’t found John Kerry’s brain.
AND I just heard a report on radio that one of the biggest backers of the scanner company is SOROS! Between the radiation’s being a questionable health risk, and the chance of getting a venereal disease from the TSA physical attacks, how many of us will willingly fly? If the air carriers survive this, I’ll be surprised.
Please - John F’in was probably told early on they would get the contract by Chertoff, Dashle, etc.
This is complete nonsense. All this shows to me is that he has a conflict of interest in this matter and if you were a lawmaker voting on laws and making statements supporting this I would say the same of you.
This is just another scam on the pblic and the useful idiots on all sides, including those on this site go right along with this.
Oh I understand quite well the point you are making. A look at the purchase dates of these suspect buys would be very helpful in establishing "inside knowledge" or not.
Also I would guess that these buys were made in his wifes name. Its not like he is putting any of his money into 'locked trusts for the future'...lol.
BTW, I said I had L-3 for 6 + years, I was mistaken. Its more like 11+ years. Its a very good stock.
...and if you were a lawmaker voting on laws and making statements supporting this I would say the same of you.
As well you should. I will assure you though, that should that highly unlikely scenario ever occur, I will be much more discreet than these rookies...;)
Ha ha ha
F’in is a pro at getting away with stuff - i.e. his sailboat tax issue.
I hear ya man. I try to follow Howie Carrs’ columns on “Live Shot” for pure entertainment value.
