MONEY BEING MADE OFF OF YOUR FEAR
Heading up the renewed push for those controversial, clothes-penetrating scanners at airports
is former homeland security secretary Michael
Chertoff. His consulting firm represents companies who make the
scanners, but you wouldn't know it from reading the papers.
The Underpants
Bomber alerted the world to the possibility of terrorists putting
bombs in their underpants. So now everyone
is debating whether we should deploy scanners which can see through
clothes and show bombs nestled close to terrorists' nekkid bodies. Michael Chertoff, who was Bush's homeland
security secretary from 2005-2009, is a huge fan! Yesterday he told
NPR:
A couple of years ago we began the process of testing them to see, first of
all, if they worked and second, if they could be deployed without unduly restricting the flow of traffic. And
the good news is that we were able to demonstrate that they were successful. We could use them without slowing
up traffic and we could also protect privacy.
But when Chertoff launched into his pitch for full-body scanners
on Campbell
Brown tonight, we learned that he is paid by the very companies
who make the penetrating devices:

In 2009, Chertoff founded the Chertoff Group, a security consulting agency. The Chertoff Group's client list is
unknown—Chertoff refused to talk about it in an interview—but he
admits in the clip above that some of his clients manufacture full-body scanners.
Yet when he appears in The New York
Times,
The Washington Post, and on NPR to advocate for full-body scanning, Chertoff is
identified only as a former secretary of homeland security. No mention is made of the Chertoff Group. ("If they'd
been deployed, this would pick up this kind of device," he tells the Times.) Did Chertoff 'forget' to tell reporters about his
connection to the industry he's pimping in their stories? It didn't look like he was about to volunteer the
information on Campbell Brown tonight. (Good catch, though, Campbell. We always knew there had to be some reason
you had your own show!)
So, here is a service to all you journalists working on upcoming articles about
full-body scanners, which will inevitably feature Chertoff playing the cheerleader. Feel free to copy this sentence
and paste it after Chertoff's name:
Chertoff is a former homeland security secretary and the founder of the Chertoff Group, a
security consulting firm whose clients include manufacturers of full-body scanners.
SO, HOW MUCH ARE WE WILLING TO PUT-UP WITH?!!
