Former United States Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff supports it.

"Chertoff has been an advocate of full body scanners at airports. In 2010 he admitted that a client of his security firm, the Chertoff Group, is Rapiscan Systems, one of the two manufacturers of this technology."

The company name is RAPISCAN? I'm guessing they don't pronounce it rape-i-scan. That's just a little too on the nose.

it seems that "rapey-scan" would be most appropriate

He said 'person,' not 'politician.'

Then again, I know lots of people who'd support this...

What are the rules regarding conflict of interests for holding federal positions in the US?

Only one rule: don't get caught. We've got serious corruption problems.
