Ex-Homeland Security Chief Chertoff Pushes Body Scanners, Abuses Public Trust
Ex-Homeland Security Chief Head Said to Abuse Public Trust by Touting Body Scanners

by Kimberly Kindy

Since the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day, former Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff has given dozens of media interviews touting the need for the federal government to buy more full-body scanners for airports.

What he has made little mention of is that the Chertoff Group, his security consulting agency, includes a client that manufactures the machines. The relationship drew attention after Chertoff disclosed it on a CNN program Wednesday, in response to a question.

An airport passengers' rights group on Thursday criticized Chertoff, who left office less than a year ago, for using his former government credentials to advocate for a product that benefits his clients.

"Mr. Chertoff should not be allowed to abuse the trust the public has placed in him as a former public servant to privately gain from the sale of full-body scanners under the pretense that the scanners would have detected this particular type of explosive," said Kate Hanni, founder of FlyersRights.org, which opposes the use of the scanners.

More or less, one of the Chertoff Group's clients is Rapiscan, which is a subsidiary of OSI Systems, Inc.

Chertoff co-wrote The Patriot Act.

5. At least it isn't hypocritical.

Chertoff was touting these machines long before he started consulting anybody.
