Seems to me that someone needs to be investigating TSA for its abuse and waste of tax monies. This is the same as crimminal in my opinon. Who authorized this purchase?
Might have been either Kippie or Chertoff, but suspect Chertoff. Also suspect that these devices were difficult to maintain properly in the conditions they were being used in. Lots of sensor clogging lint, dander, and whatever getting into airways. Also suspect that the training of the TSA types to both maintain and operate the machines was minimal at best.
