Have DUers watched security personnel in recent times

[malaise]

I am actually shocked at what I see these days.
Most of these guys are listening to music and watching their smart phones. I'm surprised there aren't more serious security lapses everywhere.

1. I used to work in background/suitability checks and red team drills before (and just after) 9/11

Since then the caliber of the security state employees is barely one step above a rubber door stopper. Just look at the people who proudly wear the TSA uniforms the next time you fly. If I told you the places we cleared out these lowlifes you'd be amazed.

Sure, the guys work for the Capitol Police are excellent, but the average foot soldier at ICE or some dude watching a monitor is just trying to stay awake. I'd hoped that this had not crept into the Secret Service Personnel Division but it sounds like.

2. When the 1% and their owned politicians insist on destroying

unions and workmen and women's compensation and benefits, only the desperate will take these jobs and commitment is the last thing on their mind.

4. too much of it is done by under paid contractors and not the professional agents of yester year

5. YOu know my view on privatizing certain areas of government

This is fucking madness.
