DHS: A Complete Waste

Here's a link to a sad story that demonstrates just what a complete waste of time, money, and effort the Department of Homeland Security is:

A 14-day old baby from Samoa was being flown to Hawaii for emergency heart surgery. The DHS immediately whipped into action and classified the baby as a terrorist threat. How do we know this? Because they detained the baby, his mother, and a nurse in a custom's room and the baby died while trapped in that room.

Wouldn't it have been nice to say, I don't know, send the baby to the hospital for his surgery?

The delegate to the U.S. congress from Samoa is calling for an investigation and the baby's family is suing the federal government. More power to them. Maybe we can get lucky and they can sue the DHS out of existence.

My condolences to the baby's family.

Ken
