We mentioned Rapiscan, one of the two companies manufacturing the full-body scanners the TSA has been using to stir up the ire of airline passengers of late, yesterday.

It turns out that not only is Rapiscan CEO Deepak Chopra (not THAT Deepak Chopra) a maxed-out Obama donor and a member of the president’s retinue for last week’s India trip, but the company uses a lobbying firm run by former Department of Homeland Security head Michael Chertoff.

This isn’t likely to defuse the outrage over TSA as the holiday travel crush gets going.

Plus George Soros owned stocks in the scanner making company (11,000 of them) until just 2 days ago, when he suddenly sold them as the media (Glen Beck in particular) got wind of it. Bunch of crooks.

USA: Welcome to Chicago politics brought to Washington DC by way of The Chosen One. Why is anyone surprised? Illinois is replete with examples of sole-source-no-bid contracts brought to you by political corruption and complicit vendors.
