Great job TSA. You've wasted more money. Yet another fail on your part.
Backscatter X-ray scanners to be removed from airports

I posted this months ago. I think I went through one of them once or twice. I ALWAYS opted out other times, much to the dismay of the lazy TSA workers. They always questioned why I wouldn't go through it. Hope no one has any negative effects from that POS in the future.

Who can blame him. He is out of office now he cant use the Obama method of investing. Throw a billion taxpayer dollars at a company, collect a couple million in kickbacks, wait for the company to go bankrupt. Rinse repeat.

Again another waste of tax payers money on something that from the get go was a bad idea, but the "brains" in the TSA said it was a must have. I had to go through one the other day (normally opt out but "forced" to go through) and it showed 5 metal objects on me (none existed) and I still got a morning massage from one of these fine security people!

The TSA was just doing what the overlords (i.e. Dick Cheney and his coinvestors in Rapidscan) told them to do. The EU refused to implement the technology due to the X-ray exposure.

The names change, but the game is ever popular and highly profitable among the players.
