Insulin pumps are not supposed to be exposed to x-rays, and even if a pump-wearing flier does wear their pump for a full body scan, the invasive pat down will be conducted by people who don’t know that the insulin pump is a life saving device.
==========================================
CONNECTED POLS GET BIG PAYOFF We keep hearing full body scanners are necessary because of terrorist threats. But it turns out the people who make the things played a role as well. USA TODAY found firms with multimillion-dollar contracts to supply airports with body-scanning machines more than doubled their spending on lobbying in the past five years and hired several high-profile former government officials to advance their causes in Washington.
Scanner firms hired lobbyists include Linda Daschle, a former federal aviation official and wife of Tom Daschle, former Senate Majority Leader. L-3 Communications, which has sold $39.7 million of the scanners, spent $4.3 million trying to influence Congress. Rapiscan Systems spent $271,500 lobbying. It also hired former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff who has been a big proponent of scanners. Rapiscan made $41.2 million from the government.
SICK, SICK, SICK !!!!
Damn Daschles — he and they were always
going to be gifted, after he despicably
and arrogantly lied about his taxes ..
the sob.
She’s always had her hand in OUR MONEY
lobbying.
I hope these people enjoy the Hereafter ..not
gonna be purty.
