We're the Only Ones Losing It Enough

The FBI said that 160 laptop computers were lost or stolen in less than four years, including at least 10 that contained sensitive or classified information -- one of which held "personal identifying information on FBI personnel," according to a report released yesterday.

The bureau, which has struggled for years to improve its sloppy inventory procedures, also reported the same number of missing weapons -- 160 -- from February 2002 to September 2005. Those weapons included shotguns and submachine guns, according to the report by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine.
We're not just "The Only Ones"--we're FEDERAL Only Ones, representatives of a JustUs Department that's in charge of the administration's efforts to keep guns off the streets and to safeguard "homeland security" on the domestic front. That they've achieved the exact opposite in each of these cases and actually expanded vulnerabilities seems to not be part of the discussion.

I can't believe this is due merely to "sloppy inventory procedures." I can't believe somebody's not making a buck.

Questions: Whose heads have rolled? No one's? Why not?

  2. Not "we are arming them over here so they don't have to go over there"?
