U.S. Halts Pilot Program in New York to Detect Biological Attacks

The Department of Homeland Security is dismantling a next-generation biological attack warning system in New York City subways because of technical problems, U.S. officials said.

Robert Hooks, a deputy assistant secretary, said the department no longer believes it is necessary to expand the pilot program, as he told Congress in July, because of resource and technology limits. Hooks said a long-planned alternative sensor system, set for initial deployment late next year, also will not be available nationwide until 2012, to allow for more testing.

The deactivation of the pilot program in late March marks a setback in U.S. efforts to detect biological weapons, and its disclosure comes as the Obama administration is unveiling new security priorities as part of its 2010 budget today.

Totally agree with what you’re saying. Obama is a “nutcase” and doesn’t know how “Loose lips, sinks ships” works.

I work with a Obama Zombie, (He was untenable up until recently, even he is waking up ) I made a bet with him the other day that Zero will kill more American civilians then any other President except for Lincoln.

He thought that was pretty humorous until I listed off a litany of potential scenarios where that might come true. Several National security issues, CIA compromised, throwing Israel under the bus, border issues among many others.
