    March 26, 2008


    FAKES: Experts fear the U.S. Government Printing Office's practice of outsourcing the manufacture of passports could lead to fakes like these counterfeit European Union passports.

    Quote from above referenced article:

    "Officials at GPO, the Homeland Security Department and the State Department played down such concerns, saying they are confident that regular audits and other protections already in place will keep terrorists and foreign spies from stealing or copying the sensitive components to make fake passports."

    Ya, with Homeland Security we have nothing to worry about...

    'Virtual Fence' Along Border To Be Delayed
    U.S. Retooling High-Tech Barrier After 28-Mile Pilot Project Fails

    By Spencer S. Hsu
    Washington Post Staff Writer
    Thursday, February 28, 2008; Page A01

    "The Bush administration has scaled back plans to quickly build a "virtual fence" along the U.S.-Mexico border, delaying completion of the first phase of the project by at least three years and shifting away from a network of tower-mounted sensors and surveillance gear, federal officials said yesterday.

    Technical problems discovered in a 28-mile pilot project south of Tucson prompted the change in plans, Department of Homeland Security officials and congressional auditors told a House subcommittee."

    Next they will claim that the work has to be outsourced to India because Americans "do not have the skills"...
