Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, introduced legislation this past September that would authorize testing of body scanners at some federal buildings.
LOBBYIST HAVE WON TO SECURE OUR SAFETY IN OUR AIRPORTS 5.0MILLION DOLLARS WORTH.
Overall, Rapiscan has spent close to $3.6 million on lobbying since 2007, according to records.
Overall, L-3 has spent more than $1.4 million on lobbying since 2004,
There are already 385 body scanners at 68 airports, according to TSA.
When you have Linda Hall Daschle, a former administrator for the Federal Aviation Administration and wife of ex-Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), is one of L-3’s best-connected lobbyists, NO WONDER WE ARE SO MUCH MORE SECURE.
AND WAIT FOR IT.......
“In 2009, Rapiscan Systems briefly engaged Chertoff Group, led by Michael Chertoff, as a consultant,” Kant said in a statement to The Hill. “In that engagement, Mr. Chertoff and his staff of experts provided Rapiscan with advice and analysis with respect to a limited set of well-defined subjects unrelated to aviation security. Chertoff Group’s activities in that engagement were advisory, and neither Mr. Chertoff nor his staff has ever represented Rapiscan in any communications with the U.S. government.”
I FEEEEEEEL SO SECURE NOW...... not!!!!!!

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
