Homeland Security at work: federal buildings fail to catch bomb materials

Among the security breaches, investigators found one guard asleep after taking the painkiller Percocet and one who allowed a box of handguns to pass through an x-ray machine...

Well, you know, if you ARRANGE them juuuuust right in the box, they don’t LOOK like handguns on the x-ray machine, they look like steel peace-signs...

I am sure this will be passed off as Bush's fault; the -5bama administration mis-read the actual conditions of security. Then they will ramp up the rhetoric to provide zillions in more funding to pay for better security, because we cannot expect security guards to stay awake through their shifts unless we pay them much more.

Generally speaking, civil service employees are little more than welfare recipients who spend 40 hours and 30 years “on the job”.

“Generally speaking, civil service employees are little more than welfare recipients who spend 40 hours and 30 years “on the job”.”

Hate to say it, but better that than getting unemployment and eventually a welfare check.

I agree....they do pay taxes and have some contribution.
Just lack of motivation to do more with their lives, IMHO.

I guess they are to busy watching the x-rays taken at selected airports, they believe it’s the next best thing to nude pictures.
