BIG SIS INVADES WAL-MART: IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING
WASHINGTON Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today announced the expansion of the Departments national If You See Something, Say Something campaign to hundreds of Walmart stores across the countrylaunching a new partnership between DHS and Walmart to help the American public play an active role in ensuring the safety and security of our nation.
Homeland security starts with hometown security, and each of us plays a critical role in keeping our country and communities safe, said Secretary Napolitano. I applaud Walmart for joining the If You See Something, Say Something campaign. This partnership will help millions of shoppers across the nation identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to law enforcement authorities.
The If You See Something, Say Something campaignoriginally implemented by New York Citys Metropolitan Transportation Authority and funded, in part, by $13 million from DHS Transit Security Grant Programis a simple and effective program to engage the public and key frontline employees to identify and report indicators of terrorism, crime and other threats to the proper transportation and law enforcement authorities.
More than 230 Walmart stores nationwide launched the If You See Something, Say Something campaign today, with a total of 588 Walmart stores in 27 states joining in the coming weeks. A short video message, available here, will play at select checkout locations to remind shoppers to contact local law enforcement to report suspicious activity.
Over the past five months, DHS has worked with its federal, state, local and private sector partners, as well as the Department of Justice, to expand the If You See Something, Say Something campaign and Nationwide SAR Initiative to communities throughout the countryincluding the recent state-wide expansions of the If You See Something, Say Something campaign across Minnesota and New Jersey. Partners include the Mall of America, the American Hotel & Lodging Association, Amtrak, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, sports and general aviation industries, and state and local fusion centers across the country.
In the coming months, the Department will continue to expand the If You See Something, Say Something campaign nationally with public education materials and outreach tools designed to help Americas businesses, communities and citizens remain vigilant and play an active role in keeping the county safe.
Nappy wouldn’t dare make this “partnership” offer to FOX News Channel. She’s a fraud.
Hey, Janet, the place is crawling with crimaliens!
How many people (including 100 John Doe’s) were sued because they reported something suspicious on an airplane?
Of Course, this makes sense.....this is after all the place where you find all the right wing terrorists/sarc
>>If you see an illegal alien, report them.... heh<<
That’s where I was going with this as well. If I see shoplifting, I’ll report it. If I see someone pull a gun, I’ll report it. If I see a fist fight, I’ll report it.
But I don’t tell people how to raise their kids.
I was in the old SouthCenter mall yesterday and there was this little mexican kid (looked about 2 or 3) playing in the middle of the common area with no apparent parent around. My wife and I looked around for about a minute and could not find anyone that appeared to be with him, so I walked up and asked him where his mommy was. Just as I did, a mexican guy came up (he had not been around and must have been backtracking, looking for his son) and picked him up by the arms, just below the shoulder. He then proceeded to shake the boy and sternly say something about staying with his parents.
We didn’t approve, but there is absolutely no friggin way we would report that sort of thing. Now, if the father had pulled out a knife or gun, or cold cocked the kid, that would have been different.
My bar is pretty low before I will challenge a parent’s freedom to rear their kids as they see fit and actually get the government involved.
Yeah, WalMart shoppers are going to report suspicious activities, like SOME of them buying guns.
Big Sis must know something with all those home-grown terrorists hanging out at Wally World.
Big Sis and her boss are watching us . . . so they can destroy America.
I see a bunch of people struggling to feed their families thanks to the ill-conceived policies of the inexperienced, arrogant man in The White House.
I’d really rather our government not encourage all of us to spy on one another. It’s bad enough that they teach it to the chillen in publikk shkoolz.
Wally World is a safe haven for non US citizens
That doesn’t sound like it warranted federal involvement
All she needs to do is check out peopleofwalmart.com
>Homeland security starts with hometown security
This administration really loves their snappy soundbites.<
Soon this little buzz phrase will be every bit as old as that tired Wall Street/Main Street bit they always use.
Conditioning the American People to rat on their Neighbors under the guise of ‘security’ — how Soviet of the administration....
I read this as we have no frigging idea so please help us out. No matter how hard we try we cant find any terrorists, illegal aliens, or tax cheats among us.
If you see incompetence, say something!
Hey, it’s a post-9/11 world. Let’s Roll!
reminds me of Young Guns clip @2:10ish
I see something, where do I go to report what I see. Do I go to the secret undercover agent conducting a cleanup in isle 3, or the non-English speaking(wink,wink)shelf stacker in the auto isle. I suppose I won’t need any proof, it’s the severity of the charge after all
That took all of 4 replies. Freepers are just too sharp!
