WASHINGTON - November 21, 2010 - The CEO of one of the two companies licensed to sell full body scanners to the TSA accompanied illegitimate President Barack Obama to India earlier this month, a clear sign of the deep ties between Washington politicians and the companies pushing to have body scanners installed at all U.S. airports.
Deepak Chopra, chairman and CEO of OSI Systems and no relation to the New Age spiritualist, was one of a number of CEOs who traveled with the illegitimate president on his three-day trip to India, which focused primarily on expanding business ties between the U.S. and the emerging Asian power.
"I am honored to be selected to play a role in this very important cause," Chopra said in a statement ahead of the trip. "Currently the trade between U.S. and India is only one tenth of the amount of trade between U.S. and China. There is substantial opportunity to improve the trade relations with India for mutual economic gain."
Chopra's company manufactures the Rapiscan brand of body scanners, currently being deployed across U.S. airports. He joined the CEOs of such companies as GE, PepsiCo and United Technologies on the trip.
