People are getting richer by selling fear. Are airport body scanners really for our security or is it so people like Michael Chertoff, former officials who gained the public's trust, can now rake in the big bucks. The Daily Caller's Mike Riggs weighs in on this growing fear.

1. I have not flown but once since 911, and after learning about this I will never fly again.
Boycott the DHS and the airlines!

3. You are mistaken if you think these porn machines will only be used at airports.
There is way too much money to be made. Grocery store, school, mall, sports arena, Michael Chertoff wants you to be "safe" everywhere!

2. Airports to Privatize Screening “Don’t Touch My Junk” a Hoax?

Lawmaker To Airports: Do Away With TSA

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Central Florida lawmaker who helped to write the bill that created the Transportation Security Administration now says it might be time to do away with the government entity at airports.
Rep. John Mica is reminding airports across the country that they have a choice to opt out of using the TSA.
Mica will soon chair the House Transportation Committee. He has sent letters to more than 150 airports, including Orlando International Airport, suggesting that they dump TSA screeners and instead hire private security.

Private Screening Contract Awarded for Seven Airports in Montana

To date, the original PP5 airports are participating in SPP. These include San Francisco International; Kansas City International; Greater Rochester (N.Y.) International; Jackson Hole (Wyo.); and Tupelo (Miss.) Regional. In addition, Joe Foss Field in Sioux Falls, S.D., Key West (Fla.) International Airport, the Roswell International Air Center, and the Charles M. Schulz-Sonoma County (Calif.) Airport are operating under SPP. TSA also has contracted with US Helicopter Corporation and McNeil Security, Inc., for screening operations to support airport shuttle services at the East 34th Street Heliport in New York City.

Was, Don’t Touch My Junk a Hoax to bring attention to screening at airports? Or just a happy coincidence for John Mica and a handful of contractors.

4. Body Cavity Searches Next?
What prevents a terrorist from hiding a bomb in a body orifice?

It seems like a Chertoff scam.
