Regarding the body scanners used by the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA), we find that profiting from TSAs use of the body scanners are George Soros, Michael Chertoff, by way of the company Rapiscan. by Raven Clabough Regarding the body scanners used by the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA), we find that profiting from TSAs use of the body scanners are George Soros, Michael Chertoff, by way of the company Rapiscan. by Raven Clabough

Screening technologies with names like millimeter-wave and backscatter X-ray can show the contours of the body and reveal foreign objects. Such machines, properly used, are a leap ahead of the metal detectors used in most airports, and supporters say they are necessary to keep up with the plans of potential terrorists. "If theyd been deployed, this would pick up this kind of device," Michael Chertoff, the former homeland security secretary, said in an interview .

In response to The Examiners report of George Soros share in Rapiscan, Media Matters (another of Soros funded projects) seized on the report and mocked the writer. The Blaze reports that Media Matters argued that 11,300 shares are only six one-hundredths of one percent of the companys total stock.

It would be nice if he did this as a response to public pressure, but it seems equally likely that as an investor he simply realized the political tide was turning against the company and the stock may drop as a result.

The Blaze spoke with a representative from gurufocus.com, the site referenced by Hemingway and Media Matters. According to the representative, Soros owned the OSIS stock at the end of the second quarter and sold it under the third quarter. That puts the sale sometime between July 1 and September 30. The representative said the site first updated the information yesterday, which explains the change in the amount of stock owned.
