As a global business traveler for 40+ years I am well aware of what you opine...In fact I just returned from Perth AU two weeks ago - having made two round trips there since June.

Other countries, including Australia, currently do not subject passengers to this type of aggressive process

As to Michael Chertoff’s antics - is that “guilt by association”..?

My key point still stands - i.e. the current level of outrage over “implementing” these nude scanners and enhanced “groping” of private parts would be 10 times greater - with the lamestream media leading the charge, if it were Bush (or any Republican) occupying the White House

Exactly right. Just like the Republicans didn’t get upset when Bush announced that as President he had the authority to lock up anyone indefinitely with no rights to a lawyer or to even know the charges against him. What Republican would have gone along with that if it had been Obama who had first claimed that power?

I wouldn’t say that Chertoff is a victim of guilt by association....however, he is in the private sector now, and has been making tons of money by being a corporate officer of one of the companies that manufacture these naked scanners.
