The "Anthrax" My Friends Is Blowin' in the Wind
Michael Chertoff: is "Heckuva job" Brownie right about him?
“If the Department of Homeland Security can't provide security for its own building, how is it going to provide security for the country?” - MSNBC & The Guardian give you low-down on the latest "War On Terror" f-ckery.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg for those who've been paying attention:
"The Bush administration has missed dozens of deadlines set by Congress after the Sept. 11 attacks for developing ways to protect airplanes, ships and railways from terrorists." (click here to read more)
A group of Yukon high school students who attended a peace demonstration in Alaska last year have been labelled a threat by U.S. Homeland Security. (click here to read more)
"The National Security Agency's secret domestic spying hasn't nabbed any Al Qaeda agents in the U.S. since the Sept. 11 attacks, FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress...." (click here to read more)
"Governors of both parties said Sunday that Bush administration policies were stripping the National Guard of equipment and personnel needed to respond to hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, forest fires and other emergencies." (click here to read more)
F-ckery deluxe or "Why I still leave my nail clippers at home when I fly":
"A new plan by the Transportation Security Administration would allow airline passengers to bring scissors and other sharp objects in their carry-on bags" (11/30/05)
vs.
Eyewitness: "I Never Heard the Word 'Bomb'"- "At least one passenger aboard American Airlines Flight 924 maintains the federal air marshals were a little too quick on the draw when they shot and killed Rigoberto Alpizar as he frantically attempted to run off the airplane shortly before take-off." (12/08/05)
Paying your credit cards off is now considered terrorism - actually I wouldn't be surprised if the Bush administration actually believed this.
UPDATE (3/17/06)
More "Homeland Security" madness:
- The DHS gets an 'F' for security.
- US airport screeners fail homemade bomb tests.
- Study Warns of Lapses by Port Operators.
