Wackenhut guards: our own US Homeland Security HQ INSECURE!

WASHINGTON - The agency entrusted with protecting the U.S. homeland is having difficulty safeguarding its own headquarters, say private security guards at the complex.

The guards have taken their concerns to Congress, describing inadequate training, failed security tests and slow or confused reactions to bomb and biological threats.

For instance, when an envelope with suspicious powder was opened last fall at Homeland Security Department headquarters, guards said they watched in amazement as superiors carried it by the office of Secretary Michael Chertoff, took it outside and then shook it outside Chertoff's window without evacuating people nearby...

Daniels was employed until last fall by Wackenhut Services Inc., the private security firm that guards Homeland's headquarters in a residential area of Washington. The company has been criticized previously for its work at nuclear facilities and transporting nuclear weapons.

Homeland Insecurity!! It's true! I thought it was a joke! :rofl:

I wonder if the powder shakers were just incompetent or were they 'doin' a heck of a job'? I wonder if Homeland Security's security is in the hands of some other, rich ME ruler who is a friend and benefactor of the Bush famil?

This whole terror thing is becoming less believable every day ~ it's either a fabrication, or they are the most incompetent, careless, stupid individuals in the history of the world!

they can't make this shit up.

Although there are a few good ones that took the job as a "job" many I've met and known are not the brightest bulbs in the pack and tend to get to get a bit too into the "play cop" thing.
