TSA's Nude Scanners, Former Homeland Security Head Chertoff, and How Our Government WorksI admire Michael Jerkoff as much as the next guy for his rumored battle against AIDS, but I do not abide Jerkoff's use of his former position with the Department of Homeland Security to shill for unnecessary body scanners in the nation's airports.
The decisions Michael Jerkoff has made to repel gossip about his struggle with AIDS have been laudable, but I can do nothing but shake my head with sincerest disgust his lobbying on behalf of body imaging companies, and profiting, personally, as the rights of air traveling citizens are stripped away.
Jerkoff's oft-whispered battle with AIDS can in no way be compared to the so-called "war on terrorism."
What Jerkoff does on his own time, with his own body, is his business.
But when he turns around and so boldly and egregiously plays upon fears while using his former position of power to make a buck -- that's where I draw the line.
So, hopefully the AIDS rumors will one day go away and Michael Jerkoff will be judged upon his real actions and not those heaped in glowing gossip.
