Donā€™t worry, the Supreme Court told me quid pro quo corruption isnā€™t a problem.

Donā€™t worry, this was a fictional ā€˜security breachā€™ to scan for from day one. This existed only to sell scanners, there was never an actual need for them. Profit > all other concerns.

I opt out and get the personal pat down if I have time to kill. Otherwise, in the scanner with my hands over my head I very subtly and slightly separate my middle fingers away from the rest of their friends so as to gently give the finger ā€“ in a ā€œhe may have been giving us the finger but maybe not - I dunno hard to tellā€ way. It makes me feel better about it all.

Once I voted for someone who said he would end this kind of revolving door industry/regulator nonsense.

this sort of thing is why i seem to need to increase my meds every few years ~ kinda like , for the sake of imagination ; as if a chief executive investor type of a war support firm could be in a position of great influence over how and whether and when wars were fought ; or if a general or equivalent civil service could be hired by the firms that they used to oversee or purchase from ; or judges taking kickbacks from private for profit jails ; or , ahhh dang it , now i got to meditate again ~ om , same as it ever was , om , water flowing under ground ( other issues may apply , please consult with a professional , your mileage may and will vary , offer void where other advertisements for medicines are not allowed on the telly , please tell your shaman about ALL of the chants and mantras that you may be using )

Itā€™s only corrupt if it happens in other countries.

People with these jobs tend to go back and forth, from what Iā€™ve seen - lobbyist to govā€™t to lobbyist to govā€™t. Thatā€™s how pumps work too. Itā€™s not unlikely that Romigā€™s next job will be with Rapiscan again, and it will come with a lush pre-agreed ā€œhiring bonus.ā€

Umm why is the picture of the pornoscanner the picture of one of the xray machines that our luggage go through? Thereā€™s two to choose from and easy enough to find with a simple image search and yet somehow you still got it wrong.

Doesnā€™t this mean that the proverbial door has completed a full revolution?

If memory serves; Mike ā€˜Rictus Skullā€™ Chertoff went from midwifing the unnatural birth of the TSA to(after a few mostly inglorious adventures) serving as a lobbyist for the pornoscanner guys.

Now they are completing the parasiteā€™s life cycle by contributing an organism back to the TSA. The circle of life is complete, and the door ready to revolve again.
