SIEGEL: You do have some interest in-

Mr. CHERTOFF: Correct. That's correct.

SIEGEL: -in more sales of body scanners.

Mr. CHERTOFF: As well as a lot of other security measures. But I would point out that I've talked about this for probably the last three years.

smoke screen.

i give skeletor an "a for effort" in evading the question and the interviewer an "f for failing" to press the issue by not asking something like, "what exactly is your interest in...."

reporters have no stones when asking questions and not pushing the issue with a "thank you, but you didn't answer my question" or "thank you, but that's not what asked"
