And your supporting evidence that he was personally involved in the decision to select this specific type of scanner?

Before we start throwing accusations of corruption and conflicts of interests around in the Internets Tubes, perhaps we should have some evidence or facts so support it?

Personally, knowing the government as I do (30+years), I think it is unlikely that the Director of Homeland Security personally selected a specific type of scanner. That's just not how a bloated bureaucracy works.

But I am eager to see evidence that will prove me wrong in this case.
