Imagine that!!  Former DHS chief Michael Chertoff, a leading proponent of body scanners, is now the head of a security consulting firm whose clients include Rapiscan--a maker of the body scanners and thus far the main recipient of government contracts for the machines.

Glenn! This is such a surprise! How in the WORLD could this happen?

I thought the system the Founders made prevented this! Surely I must be in some kind of nightmare world, where the rules don't matter, and the government encroaches into so many aspects of private affairs that the two are becoming one, and we can rarely, if ever, escape government influence in our lives.

It sure is a good thing that Chertoff is there to keep us safe! Phew!!

G!
