GAO Slams DHS Over BioWatch Biological Defense System
Mansing writes "Citizens need to evaluate if they are indeed safer for all the 'security precautions' put into place. 'The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has rushed to acquire a new, multibillion-dollar version of the BioWatch system for detecting biological attacks without establishing whether it was needed or would work, according to a new report by a nonpartisan investigative arm of Congress. ... The existing system's repeated false alarms have triggered tense, high-stakes deliberations over whether to order mass evacuations, distribute emergency medicines or shut down major venues.' Is this just more money funneled to U.S. companies, or is this really keeping the U.S. safer? Are the same types of 'security precautions' being instituted in Spain and the UK? Or is this preying on fear a uniquely U.S. phenomenon?"
Sure, right after all muslims move to Mars.
Isn't it funny how they always say "you shouldn't judge Islam on the action of a few tens of thousands", but then do a Muzzie when a couple of people make a film that accurately depicts Muhammad as a paedophile warlord.
This is not even close to the same. You're a fucking idiot.
My local paper printed a cartoon that was less than kind to Christians. There were weeks worth of letters complaining about it, and demanding they sack the artist.
You're a lying idiot trying to ignore how close your own precious Christians are to the Muslims you despise.
I know you don't want to believe how easy anybody can be incited to violence, but they can be.
If you think that writing nasty letters to the editor is equivalent of murdering the US Ambassador and other consulate staff then you must be a Muslim.
