So Obama is selling our privacy and dignity for $10 billion and 50,000 jobs? Always follow the money:

"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 US and India is only one tenth of the amount of trade between US 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 US airports. He joined the CEOs of such companies as GE, PepsiCo and United Technologies on the trip. The president announced commercial deals worth some $10 billion during the trip, which he said would add some 50,000 jobs to the US economy.
