The men looked stern and wore baseball caps emblazoned with the words "Homeland Security." The bizarre scene unfolded Feb. 9, leaving some residents confused and forcing county officials to explain how employees assigned to protect county buildings against terrorists came to see it as their job to police the viewing of pornography. After the two men made their announcement, one of them challenged an Internet user's choice of viewing material and asked him to step outside, according to a witness. A librarian intervened, and the two men went into the library's work area to discuss the matter. A police officer arrived. In the end, no one had to step outside except the uniformed men.
Lord help us if we are ever get attacked again if this is the caliber of government employee on watch.

At least they weren't Feds. Although it wouldn't have surprised me if they were.

I'm sure these guys have their terrorism escape plan dialed in.

I've seen people working in the federal DHS that appear to be incapable of working the cash register at a McDonald's.
Seeing it at this level is no surprise at all.
The scary thing is, plenty of local officials will try to use their "Homeland Security" personnel to do things that clearly have nothing to do with homeland security. Mission Creep is a wonderful way to justify their budgets.
