The Stupidity of Homeland Security

Michael Yon's tale of DHS's hearts and minds program.

What is so infuriating about this is that we have no real understanding of who are friends are.  We had a really good and important friendship with Thailand that no one in the US government seems to care much about.

Another point he makes is that the fact that these are all union employees makes it very difficult to discipline the bad apples that get on the job. It is a continuing mystery to me why people wanted the DHS screeners to be government employees.  If these clowns were private contractors they would be fired.
