I'm glad to see your posts again, HT. 

Hi Cecelia, I checked and noticed that you haven't been posting here much recently either.  That's unfortunate because you are an outstanding advocate.  So I want to encourage you to shed some light on the issues debated.  Think of it as our charity work.

Anyway, I find the opposition to the body scans to be a lot of noise coming from a bunch of goody two shoes who somehow thought that all the new security procedures didn't apply to them.  I say, count your blessings that you haven't been shipped off to Gitmo – yet, shut up, get in line and spread your legs.

You are such a sweet talker...

They should make you pay for the pat-down.  They charge for everything else now.

Proof that marketing works!

From USA Today:
L-3 Communications, which has sold $39.7 million worth of the machines to the federal government, spent $4.3 million to influence Congress and federal agencies during the first nine months of this year, up from $2.1 million in 2005, lobbying data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics show. Last year, the company spent $5.5 million on lobbying.

Its lobbyists include Linda Daschle, a prominent Democratic figure in Washington, who is a former Federal Aviation Administration official.

Rapiscan Systems, meanwhile, has spent $271,500 on lobbying so far this year, compared with $80,000 five years earlier. It has faced criticism for hiring Michael Chertoff, the Homeland Security secretary, who has been a prominent proponent of using scanners to foil terrorism. Officials with Chertoff's firm and Rapiscan say Chertoff was not paid to promote scanner technology. It spent $440,000 on lobbying in 2009.

The government has spent $41.2 million so far on Rapiscan's machines.

It seems that Chertoff is a far better investment than Daschle.

And we are supposed to believe this?

His new company gets a $40 million contract from his old government employer and he wasn't involved.

And I am the Queen of England.

We can save all kinds of money by just having people strip and submit to a quick cavity search. 
Nothin fumunda and nothin in the prison wallet and you're on your way!

I'm thinking this may open the door for a nudest airline.  I can see the marketing now. . .

Tired of lines at the airport?

Looks like a few people have jumped the gun (no pun intended).

and. . . Chertoff's boss, the CEO of Rapiscan Systems, was President Obama's special guest on his recent trip to India.

You do resemble her.  I think it's the beard.

SNL needs to bring back "Pat" for a TSA skit.
