And the TSA is staffed by morons. Even better, they're morons with a blog, where they can flaunt their moronicity with pride! Get this, they did a piece aiming at disproving that there was a shortage of air marshalls, but apparently, they gave out what could be considered "sensative information" in the blog by mistake. How do I know this? Because not only did they say, in a later correction, that it was "not appropriate," but they also said what that information was! The Spin-to-English translation can only work in one of two ways: A.) The information he gave out is considered classified and thus shouldn't ever have been made public. or B.) The actual percentage is, in fact, not in the double digits, and in reality is only in the single digits. Which would mean that as many as 99% of the flights which coud be considered "highest risk" are unprotected. I have given them the benefit of the doubt and gone with the least stupid possibility. How fucking dumb can you be? They have basically said, "The information we gave you, yesterday, which was that the percentage of flights protected was in the double digits, is classified, and thus we can't tell you that." The smart thing to do would be just to keep your fucking mouth shut about what it was that you just said.
I'm going to bed now, but I predict that when I return in the morning, there'll be a two page thread about the term "oxymoron," with little actual discussion of the OP.
Yeah, like the term '14thDoctor', when it's clearly stated that he only has 12 regenerations, plus his original form.
Plus the Valeyard, which makes 14 in my book. To say nothing about the White Guardian, and therefore quite possibly also the Black Guardian.
TSA is a joke, but that doesn't mean all of Homeland Security is a joke. Homeland Security covers a lot of federal agencies, some of which are very effective. Others, like TSA, seem to employ folks from the shallow end of the gene pool.
No, Michaels Brown and Chertoff mean that all of Homeland Security is a joke, or at least treated as such by the current administration. Even if DHS occasionally works to do something nonretarded, it, like the rest of the federal bureaucracy, has still been treated by this administration primarily as a dumping ground for patronage jobs rather than as an organization to be staffed by competent technocrats, and it's therefore a joke to Bush et al.
Because that would violate the constitutional requirement that things the government does not make much sense.
