Flyers are in rebellion over naked body scanners that have recently been deployed in airports. This latest experiment in degradation comes straight from recently re-elected Democratic Rep. David Price of N.C.:
Rapiscan got the other naked-scanner contract from the TSA, worth $173 million. Rapiscan’s lobbyists include Susan Carr, a former senior legislative aide to Rep. David Price, D-N.C., chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee. When Defense Daily reported on Price’s appropriations bill last winter, the publication noted “Price likes the budget for its emphasis on filling gaps in aviation security, in particular the whole body imaging systems.”
So, as you stand spread-eagled with doltish TSA goons leering at your body, or, if you take the sexual-assault pat-down option to avoid being seen naked by government bureaucrats, think of David Price, who has at least another two years to think of ideas like this.
