CASTLE ROCK, Colo. – Taking a trip during the holidays isn't the only time that people might get a full-body scan to pass through security. People heading to court to testify, get a restraining order, pay a ticket or answer criminal charges could also face a full-body scan at courthouses.

Why they're just popping up all over America now.

At $600K a pop the government is going all out to make sure eventually every building entryway gets one.

I would like to see the flow of money to and from the maker of these scanners.

Something smells like a liberal corruption case with this.

Oh my goodness.

I smelled a rat just like I smell one with the pushing of the high speed rail BS.

Culture of corruption is back in full swing with the commander in thief in the WH.

With this commander in thief, there is a lot of B.S. TO GO AROUND. I smelled a rat from the very beginning, when the Media pushed this Thief on the Naive, and still doing so. Once a Rat always a Rat.

It gets better. OSI got stimulus money to purchase the equipment....May 2009. They had already planned this out.
OSI Systems' Rapiscan unit gets $3M TSA order | Los Angeles Business from bizjournals

"The funding for the order is coming from federal stimulus money."


The internet is such a wonderful tool...so much at your fingertips.
Just takes a bit of persistence.

"Follow the money" has never been truer.

The liberals wouldn't take that much privacy away from the public would they??? They are the ones who don't want government in your bedroom. Guess it won't matter when they can see you naked going to the court house or airport.

You wouldn't be wrong. I wonder how much they paid toward Obama's "hope and change" campaign? The libbies must be so proud of their man.

Body scanner makers doubled lobbying cash over 5 years
