What's up at the DHS?

To keep this response vaguely "on topic"...

You don't think they fail all those GAO, etc oversight checks despite 
getting so much of your tax money without some fairly creative time-
wasting efforts, do you??

  DHS Net-Ops:  Can we spend a few hundred mill on some firewalls?
  DHS Manager:  No -- let's put a several hundred chimps in front of
                PCs and train them to search Google for intel...
