ICTS security should also be investigated. If i'm not mistaken they are involved in the Underwear bomber getting on the plane, and also all the supposed "hijackers" from 911.
Israeli Owned of course.

We are supposed to travel without being killed by explosives hidden in some nut's underwear.
TSA uses two types of imaging technology, millimeter wave and backscatter. Currently, there are 385 imaging technology units at 68 airports.
In March 2010, TSA began deploying 450 advanced imaging technology units, which were purchased with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds.
Advanced imaging technology screening is safe for all passengers, and the technology meets national health and safety standards.
Since imaging technology has been deployed at airports, over 99 percent of passengers choose to be screened by this technology over alternative screening procedures. According to a new CBS poll, 4 out of 5 Americans support the use of advanced imaging technology at airports nationwide.
Advanced imaging technology is safe and meets national health and safety standards.
Backscatter technology was evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL).
All results confirmed that the radiation doses for the individuals being screened, operators, and bystanders were well below the dose limits specified by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
For comparison, the energy projected by millimeter wave technology is thousands of times less than a cell phone transmission. A single scan using backscatter technology produces exposure equivalent to two minutes of flying on an airplane.
Note: Advanced imaging technology screening is safe for all passengers, including children, pregnant women, and individuals with medical implants.
AIT Polls: Polling by Gallup, Trip Advisor, Travel Leader, and the Wall Street Journal demonstrate strong public support and understanding for the need for advanced imaging technology:
CBS: 81% of Americans support the use of advanced imaging technology at airports nationwide. [Source]
Gallup: 78% of air travelers approve of U.S. airports' using advanced imaging technology on airline passengers. [Source]
Trip Advisor: 79% of travelers said they are comfortable with U.S. airports using advanced imaging technology. [Source]
Travel Leader: Over 81% of travelers said they do not have concerns about the use of advanced imaging technology at checkpoints. [Source]
Wall Street Journal: 73.9% of travelers said they would be willing to undergo a body scan before getting on a plane. [Source]
You can't make up pure evil like this.
So our own government does the terror attack and then telld us we must either get our DNA damaged with x-rays or get x-rated groping and touching of our private parts
[...]
98% of Americans are against this tyranny

OMG! People act like a plane gets blown up every tuesday! WTF? Just because some nutjob fley a plane into a building 9 years ago? It's a little unsettling that people are so quick to rush under the teet of the government when they have been scared a bit. I'm more likely to win the damned lottery than get blown up by a "terrorist", and I don't even buy the damned tickets? MOTF!

"They say the risk is minimal, but statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays," said Dr. Michael Love, who runs an X-ray lab at the department of biophysics and biophysical chemistry at Johns Hopkins University school of medicine, according to a Agence France Presse story.
