Did you hear John Ashcroft today talking about ArgenBright,the security agency for a lot of airports?

He said he was fining them for having ex-cons etc, on the payroll.

So, I googled ArgenBright.

They were bought by another company a year ago!

"Securicor,PLC,"is the new owner!

How could Ashcroft not know?

Both ArgenBright and Securicor are/were into prison labor!

This company is a UK entity.

I can find the CEO and directors, but not the stockholders.

Their website lists all the Arabic countries they are in!

I smell something!

A few more tidbits, from The Guardian (UK)

In October last year, two months before the Securicor buyout, it was fined more than $1.5m (£1m) for allowing untrained employees, some with criminal records, to operate security checkpoints at Philadelphia international airport. Fourteen had criminal backgrounds that included drug dealing, kidnapping, firearms offences, aggravated assault and theft. Three executives pleaded guilty to conspiracy and fraud-related charges.

The company agreed to pay $1.2m in fines and costs for falsifying training and background checks, and was ordered to pay $350,000 to 38 airlines. It was placed on probation for three years.

Ten months ago, Securicor made an initial payment of $185m for Argenbright to its Atlanta parent, AHL Holdings, with the final price to be based on this year's performance.

Frank Argenbright, 53, who founded AHL in 1979, received $2m for delivering the deal and was appointed chief executive officer of Securicor's US security operations. He retains 53% of AHL, worth an estimated $62m, and stands to gain a bonus of up to $3m this year.
