Who is making money selling and maintaining body scanners? Who has accepted political contributions from these people?

[Vendome]

Michael Chertoff and a bunch of other A-holes “formerly” from the government making money on our backs.

Chertoff is one of them. But I don’t think he is connected with the Chicago Mob. So, who are they in bed with?

Someone post last night the name of Deepak Chopra, who also went to Mumbai with obey.

“Airport Scanner Manufacturer accompanied Obama to India”

The owner of ‘Rapiscan’ (Rapescan) went to India with Al Bama. There's a lot of money in porn.

Yep. Though apparently it's not the worm-tongue new age Deepak Chopra.

Posted the story at #6.

Even worse than the porn, is the radiation. Some of us who have undergone numerous CT scans would prefer not to expose ourselves to yet MORE radiation. I will not be flying on my next trip. Since it’s in the US, a train will do just fine.

Then the plan is working perfectly. MUhhhaaahaaa. Obama put so much cash into funding high speed trains for a reason

[bigbob]

Good question. I’ve found the following company names listed as manufacturers of “body scanners” using millimeter wave technology:

Rapidscan Systems, an OSI Company (presumably the one Chertoff is linked to) OSI Deepak Chopra, Chairman and CEO, was selected to accompany Obama to Mumbai and attend the US India Business Entrepreneurship meeting.

Smiths Dectection (UK)

American Science and Engineering Inc

A security consultant has published an interesting report on the effectiveness of this technology:

On the bright side, I found that “In March 2010, TSA began deploying 450 advanced imaging technology units, which were purchased with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds.”

Thank your Congressman if they voted for Porkulus!

In politics as in life, it’s always a good idea to follow the money.

Is your answer in some kind of weird code? It makes no sense to me.

Every single person boarding a plane, ship or train should be required to have a full body x-ray scan.
Don't like it? Cease whinging, turn around, leave, and find another way to your destination.

Just the number of how how I agree with your post..a take on the “+1” you see sometimes .......

American Science & Engineering, a company based in Billerica, Massachusetts, has sold U.S. and foreign government agencies more than 500 backscatter x-ray scanners mounted in vans that can be driven past neighboring vehicles to see their contents, Joe Reiss, a vice president of marketing at the company told me in an interview.

"Google Street View", government version? Guess they can call it government Goggle Vision.

This is exactly what this is all about: Money.
