Unisys Gets DHS Contract Worth Up to $750 million

feamsr00 writes "In an affirmation of its business relationship with Unisys Corp., the Department of Homeland Security awarded the Blue Bell firm a "bridge" contract worth up to $750 million. Some controversy erupted in the fall after it was reported that the government was auditing a Unisys contract because the company had possibly overbilled the Transportation Security Administration by as much as 171,000 hours of labor and overtime. TSA is a division of the Homeland Security department. Unisys is also to upgrade the Department of Homeland Security's headquarters facility in Washington."

Man I wish I was in security right now.
I just find it amazing how security experts are getting paid such big bucks yet according to recent audits show they arent really making things all that much safer.
