How plain and clear this racket is...

Michael Chertoff (born November 28, 1953) was the second United States Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush and co-author of the USA PATRIOT ACT.

Rapiscan Systems,
Michael Chertoff has been an advocate of enhanced technologies, such as full body scanners, Rapiscan Systems- a manufacturer of this technology, was a client of his security consulting firm, the Chertoff Group.

Would it be a coincidence or "Conspiracy" to see the facts plain as day?

Total racket scheme...Write the Nazi Act(Violation of American rights)...Then Make Human Sized radiation machines on Government Contracts (monetary violation of people)- Then Taxpayers foot the bill...Using the justice system for profit...

THIS MAN SHOULD BE SHOT!!!

Israel is surround by violence/ "terrorism"...and they don't use scanners.

LIBERTY OR DEATH!!!

The sick part is that Rapiscan and OSI will get MORE

business from this article. It is a PR hit to the chin which will result in more maintenance CONTRACT$

Japan Nuclear Plant Meltdown

The cover-up by the Japanese government provides more evidence that government cannot be trusted to safeguard the lives of its citizens.

Radiation

The most logical coarse of action we seem for us to press the medical boards that currently control radiological procedures within our home states because these scanners are without question radiological equipment. The people operating these machines are clearly not qualified to operate radiological equipment and do know the difference between safe and unsafe operation. The unqualified TSA operators should be subject to existing state laws and applicable sanctions designed to prevent the unqualified from performing non-licensed medical procedures as well as penalties for performing such medical procedures without specific order of board certified physicians. If not, it won’t be long before TSA goons are performing cataract surgery under the guise that they can’t get a clear retinal scan on your Grandmother.

True. Not only that, but how

True. Not only that, but how are these goons qualified to decide how much radiation is acceptable on each individual who goes into the machine.

!!! Re-Test? !!!

These death machines need to be REMOVED and DESTROYED!!!

!!!IMMEDIATELY!!!

TSA needs to be DEFUNDED immediately.

Let the Airlines provide their own security(.)

The Department of Fatherla...opps, Homeland Security needs to be DEFUNDED immediately.

With TSA it's in the governments hands...Literally.

Agree with all the points and add one more.

Money spent on these evil machines must be refunded.

Focus on auditing the Fed ... everything else is a distraction.

Lawsuit time!

Maybe the best way to stop big brother/sister is to have them be hit by an avalanche of lawsuits. They give us a choice of either getting cancer or getting groped. What kind of liberty is that?

Banks got bailed out...not you.

Sue the Tsa for your bailout.

10X the radiation??? In the name of Safety???

I would sue them, but I have not flown Nor been zapped.

LIBERTY OR DEATH!!!

Put

Chertoff and Napaletano in the machines and run them constantly for a week to see if there safe.

I was wondering why I was glowing in the dark! Thankfully never had to go through a porn scan and never would. Knew these were dangerous as soon as I heard about them.
