We are living in the 21st century now, where security and accountablity are light years from what they used to be.
Yes, I noticed that--particularly on 9/11.
Same as with all those stolen FBI laptops and guns. Or the discs missing from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Sorry, but I spent a large part of my life working high-level, high-risk operations for the government. Security sucked then, it sucks now, and it will suck tomorrow and the days afterward. It's been proven time and time and time again. Lot of great TALK about security, but . . .
BTW teletypes have gone the way of the dinosaur, it's e-mail now at Div.Intel.
I believe the blanket statement was, paraphrasing, "those kind(s) of weapons don't make it onto the streets."
Well, I'm here to tell you, unequivocally, they did. And BECAUSE they did, operations management for storage of many of those types of weapons changed--and for the better. But it is still far too easy for other lower-tier military weapons to walk away and end up anywhere in the world for the right price.
And when you consider that if the cartels were recognized businesses, most would be Fortune 100 companies--except with no debt, and not publicly owned.
Very few things money can't buy--something that has been proven endlessly since the beginning of history.
Again, NOT defending the idiotic statements of the "agents" on a tabloid sureality entertainment show. But to think that our military and government installations are impenetrable is a joke. And THAT has been proven time and time again.
