Ex-Homeland Security chief head said to abuse public trust by touting body scanners:
Since the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day, former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff has given dozens of media interviews touting the need for the federal government to buy more full-body scanners for airports. What he has made little mention of is that the Chertoff Group, his security consulting agency, includes a client that manufactures the machines.
Yep. The pornoscan is a scam. Not that that's news, it doesn't detect explosives carried internally, so it's not like it would slow down someone on a suicide run. Via this comment in this MeFi thread.
