Bodyscanner makers spent millions on lobbying

Are you surprised? They spent millions on lobbying, hired the best connected people, and today we’re treated like sheep.

Looks like OSI System, INC. stand to reap big rewards for providing
these scanners at airports. CEO of OSI Systems is Deepak Chopra.
The company is traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol OSIS.

I guess if we are inconvenienced by the scanners and potentially
exposed to radiation, we might as well get compensated by considering
buying the stock.Only downside is if the scanners are removed down the
road, then the stock could tank.Time will tell.

Another concern about these scanners is that scans of individuals can be stored. Hopefully
they won't be linked with one's medical records. One could see where
that could lead.
