[b][/b][color=purple][/color]Homeland Security, the gift that keeps on giving.

9/11 demonstrated that the various organs of government
that collect intelligence data were not intelligent enough to talk to one another.  As with Pearl Harbor, was it incompetence or a conspiracy.  You can play it either way.

Homeland Security was created to coordinate various security apparatus.  I doubt there has been much success but Homeland Security certainly has made itself into the boondoggle to end all boondoggles.

TSA, the Rosemary's Baby of Homeland Security continues to abuse & rob travelers.  Air travel fees are being raised to sustain TSA, a rogue white elephant of Homeric proportion.  Homeland Security turned on Americans at the get-go, it will become a Gestapo (KGB) like organization when the time is right.

One should attempt to fill out the background check, computerized applications of TSA when applying for a job.  It is appalling, so comprehensive that there are not enough detectives in the world to check everything out.  Who your landlord was 25 years ago is nonsense  Is it a wonder why convicted felons are hired.  In a incident recently a member of law enforcement traveling on business spotted his former 'clients' in TSA garb.  Imagine this TSA agent feeling up your wife in the guise of security or inspecting your valuables in a back room.  Maybe your child should be frisked by a x con.

Franklin Roosevelt (a former president) said we "we have nothing to fear but fear itself".  Fear has gripped America at every level, the fear has driven out common sense & we are captives of this fear.  There are always men willing to profit from the fear of their fellow citizens, DC is loaded with such men.  Homeland Security is a dark pool reflecting

A effort is on going in America to emasculate men.  Now we have a nation of 'men' that allow TSA thugs to manhandle women & children.  Football games & beer not make a nation of men.
