The real problem with government agencies is that it's almost impossible to get fired. You have to do something criminal to get the boot. Incompetance is not grounds for termination, it's standard business practice. Everyone looks the other way because they're doing the same thing. Think about it... If it was nearly impossible for you be fired, how long before you started to slack off and become part of the problem. People in the real world know that if they don't work, they'll be fired... And if you don't enjoy your job, that's all the motivation you need. Just as water seeks it's own level, if you work for the government long enough, you will become useless too. The only way to fix the government is to bring in an independent professional auditer and make everyone in government interview for their own jobs. This will weed out the dead weight and open up positions for new people who have not yet been assimilated by the system.
I wonder what the parents of kidnapped, raped & murdered children have to say about the issue. If a tracking device let to the recovery of your child, would you feel differently about them?
The fact is, there are some immeasurably sick people out there who look at kids as their personal toys. I'm not saying that tracking devices are the best solution (that would be parents & teachers who care) but if it saves just one kids life, isn't it worth trying?
