On: Homeland Security Messages Coming to Wal Mart, etc...

The problem with Homeland Security is that they're a bunch of people sitting in an office thinking: What can we do to promote Homeland Security? This means that they're just out there to promote their mission statement of FUD and spend whatever money they get to do it.

Like the TSA forget about slowing down the message or decreasing it. They're all about expanding. They'll continue so far as they're able to convince the people that allow them the money and the access.

That's pretty much true for every organization, be it a private company, the catholic church, or NATO.

In the case of government we refer to this natural tendency to grow as bureaucratic inertia.

I am saddened that the people working for DHS are so unimaginative that this is the best they could think up.

But not every organization has the power to throw you in jail with impunity if you resist their growth.
