DHS Wants To Hire 1,000 Cybersecurity Experts
Cyrus writes "DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano plans to hire 1,000 security experts over the next three years. 'Department officials could not say precisely how many cyberexperts now work at DHS and its various component agencies such as the Secret Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Napolitano said she doubts it will be necessary to fill all 1,000 of the authorized positions, but she is focused on making DHS a "world-class cyberorganization."'" Cringely points out, "There aren't one thousand civilian cybersecurity experts in the entire friggin' world!!!!," except he uses all caps and bold.
I feel like I have no faith in the Homeland Security Agency's stated mission. Other than securing airports and border checkpoints such that it makes things even more difficult to get in or out of the country than it is going to visit inmates at your local correctional facility, I have no faith in that agency whatsoever. It was created in a knee jerk reaction to a terrible event that was likely orchestrated if not pulled off entirely by our very own government. Nah, I liked it better when we had much less security in this country and we could come and go as we pleased. I don't think body cavity searches are needed just to get on a bus, do you?
Because if you don't have a citation to back up your assertion, especially one as ridiculous as yours, you look like a fucking clown.
Research != evidence, you red-nosed cunt.
