At the very lease, it appears that there is a conflict of interest, and needs to be treated as such.

the revolving door and conflict of interest are a problem and could be overlooked if the equipment did not create a public health risk. directing focused x-rays to skin generates statically more difficult to repair double dna breaks, comparing collimated x-rays to "bananas" or a few minutes of air flight random gamma/cosmic rays are inaccurate. expecting mothers, fair skinned people, young children and people with dna repair issues should protect them shelves from medicaly unnecessary. http://www.rockyflatsgear.com/how-penetrating-are-airport-back-scatter-x-rays.html http://www.rockyflatsgear.com/how-penetrating-are-airport-back-scatter-x-rays.html

So Chertoff found a job working in the industry he knows most about. That should surprise you? Most politicians do the same thing to get a paycheck. Somehow I don't think Greenpeace was looking to hire him. And body scanners make flying safer. Frankly, I'd rather put myself and my kids on a flight where all the passengers have been scanned or searched, than take a flight that was not inspected. Now if only they'd pay the same attention to the cargo and mail and other materials put on those flights. We don't have a RIGHT to fly, and I'm thankful we still can.

There are body scanner alternatives. See: http://bit.ly/aPcNfG
