Whence America

Loss of America

"...Here we are. The most advanced and prosperous civilization the world has ever seen and it's like we're all just assuming it's always been like this and always will be. We've forgotten that this wonderful lifestyle we lead isn't a given. Freedom isn't a given. We've gotten to this wonderful place and we've torn up the map how to get here. Many of the people who educate our children don't believe in the Constitution. They don't believe that the values that built this society are anything special. And we've left them in charge of our children. So how can we be shocked when our children know nothing of the uniqueness of our country when their teachers don't believe there's anything unique about it...."

It's just the guard industry, not law enforcement--right?

I am shocked, shocked, I tell you!
Air Marshals' Management

"Air marshals to be reorganized amid internal problems

The Federal Air Marshal Service is being reorganized to avoid the kinds of personnel problems described in a recent government report, witnesses at a congressional hearing said Thursday. The service is a branch of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that oversees security on airline flights, and includes undercover officers who are armed and fly aboard planes to thwart potential attacks.
A TSA inspector general's report last month said some managers have created a hostile work environment for air marshals through their insults toward women, minorities, veterans and gays.
The report also said the air marshals' management did not cooperate well within the organization and found a lack of compliance with directions from their headquarters...."

The managers are "elite" ex-cops and the air marshals aren't really really cops. Enough said.
