In 2001 alone, Loral paid $460,000 to Linda Daschle’s firm for lobbying. L-3 Communications is an even hotter issue, and the conflict of interest there may well put the Daschles in danger. They hired Mrs. Daschle when airlines complained about buying L-3 bomb detectors to screen airline baggage because they were “inferior to a competitor’s.” But Linda Daschle fixed it up, as the Washington Post reported. So inferior machines, that never worked, are being used to screen baggage because of Linda Daschle’s lobbying – and the Daschle’s say we don’t have a right to see how much money they sold our security and airline safety for?
