Why scanners? Follow the money.

And this story is a year old.

Here is a Chertoff quote from the New York Times on December 29th.“If they’d been deployed, this would pick up this kind of device,” Michael Chertoff, the former homeland security secretary, said in an interview, referring to the packet of chemicals hidden in the underwear of the Nigerian man who federal officials say tried to blow up the Northwest Airlines flight.
A few days later the Washington Post revealed that Chertoff represents Rapiscan - a maker of full body scanners drawing criticism of groups who oppose full body scanners
"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.

Rapiscan has already sold 150 full body scanners to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), with a price tag of $25 million. Rapiscan full body scanners, like the Rapiscan WaveScan 200, seem to be the preferred scanner of choice because they obscure the "private parts."

3. Unless of course, Playboy/Playgirl want to launch their own airlines.

Of course it has to be "clothing banned". With separate check-in lines.

6. Doesn't Hooters already have its own airline

ahead of the curve, that company is

9. Sorry, Hooters scheduled airline operations went bust.

No pun.

I think they may have the odd charter operation here or there but as a regularly scheduled airline, it didn't last long. (Comparisons to the length of their operations and mens' sex life are not to be drawn from this or any previous statement I have made about the issue.
