The sad fact is the ones in the warehouse caught just as many terrorists as the ones in airports
Let's be careful here. If we complain too much about the machines IN the warehouse, they will soon be OUT of the warehouse in locations they were never intended for. Malls, sports stadiums, high schools, will have this junk to further erode our civil rights. Be careful what you wish for.
I like where they said that they bought more than needed to get a discount.lol
Did they save more than the $184M spent on additional units? No? It's only worth buying extras if the net savings is greater than the expenditure. (Most of you probably realize that; I included it for the benefit of any TSA decision-makers who may be reading this.)
like I said, millions of $
It is the same reasoning as "we are loosing money on each unit, but we will make it upon volumn".
