Group slams Chertoff on scanner promotion

WASHINGTON - Since the attempted bombing of a
US 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. Chertoff disclosed the relationship
on a CNN program Wednesday, in response to a question.
An airport passengers’ rights group on Thursday criticized
Chertoff’s use of 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.
