Barkeep, a Scotch With Conflict-of-Interest on the Side.

Former DHS Secretary Skeletor Michael Chertoff is making the rounds of the talk shows promoting the use of full-body scanners for airport security. He's given dozens of interviews saying that they're just the ticket. There's only one little problem with his advice:
What he has made little mention of is that the Chertoff Group, his security consulting agency, includes a client that manufactures the machines.
I wonder if he's also getting a commission on the damn things in his role as a "stealth salesman". Nice work if you can get it, no doubt.

It saddens me that we allow the corporate media to have people like Chertoff who many will view as a previous government official and the credence that it provides, the ability to go on national tv and promote and advertise a product produced by those who sign his paycheck. I many days wish that that corporations never existed.

I bet he's getting a straight fee, and a pretty large one at that.
