The Real Reason John Boehner Skips Full Body Scans

Boehner and Congress exempt from TSA procedures
Representative John A. Boehner, soon to be the Speaker of the House, has pledged to fly commercial airlines back to his home district in Ohio. But that does not mean that he will be subjected to the hassles of ordinary passengers, including the controversial security pat-downs.
