This "article" is just a nasty, shrill, highly political and vitrolic commentary. Can't we find more thoughtful content for HN? Yes I think it's significant that Chertoff's new company works for the body scanner folks, but this has already been dealt with on HN with links to much saner content.
- wyclif 16y agoWhere would that "saner content" be?
- binarybits 16y agoThis for example: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/bushs-homeland-security-secretary-flacking-for-nudie-scanners-too-108187479.html http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-conf...
- phlux 16y agoThis is the new model, if you hadn't noticed: Dick Cheyney as sec. defense for Bush I setup the privatization policy for military non-combat jobs. Then he joined Haliburton - then went ad created a war to funnel profits his way. Tom Ridge as the first director of homeland security required shipping containers to be searched and tagged and tracked etc - then he left to join the board of Savi/Lockheed Martin. You think that Chertoff is any different? What about Rumsfeld? This is nothing new -- but it sure is getting annoying!
