Upon doing some research for full-body scanners and how they relate to child pornography laws, I found this interesting tidbit. RapiScan, the manufacturer of airport full-body scanners, sold 30 units the US Transportation Security Administration at a cost between $160,000 to $174,000 just weeks before the underwear bomber attempted to bring down Flight 253.

Now you have question why they were ordered at this time, when the machines were still very controversial in the United States. Then suddenly we have the underwear bomber and we are asked to give up more of our rights, including agreeing to a fully naked image of our bodies, to get on the airplane.

What did the US Government really know about Flight 253 in the weeks leading up to the attempted bombing? These are a huge investment for an airport to order without knowing something was coming down the line, don’t you think?
