It's interesting that the Segway was used in the article as an analogy for a failed policy. Certainly the TSA belongs in the same category as the Segway.

Perhaps I'm just superstitious...
But I can't help but wonder,
That if you ride one of these things...
You will never get laid.

But, it even gets worse.
Homeland security funded a "patrol boat" to look for Bin Laden in our Narragansett Bay harbor to the tune of $68,000. But, now my town needs to man their second patrol craft, so the town has increased it's harbor patrol staff from 2 ( for the one vessel); to 8 - to be able to staff the two vessels 24/7, and to be sure that no nefarious speeders with dark beards exceed the 5 mile a hour speed limit.
And the town crows about their "free" new boat, yet I'm looking at the new $250k in salary and benefits per year!

Specifically, the District of Columbia spent $100,000 of Homeland Security money to underwrite the writing of a rap song....and $300,000 on an electric car towing machine. Don't know who is wearing those leather jackets..
It would be great of someone could find and post the lyrics to that rap song that our $100,000 in tax dollars paid for. just to see if it makes us all fell more secure.

"...the nation's capital is just as lackadaisical with its homeland security funds as the Santa Clara, Calif., sheriff's department, which purchased four Segways to transport its bomb squad in the event of a terrorist attack on Silicon Valley. They won't get very far at 12.5 mph." I personally want to see a Segway chase!
