Happy Halloween....

Sorry folks, but things have been very busy and I haven't been able to spend the normal amount of time here. Besides the heavy workload, what I have had to say would not have been very positive. It must be my experience in the private sector, but I am convinced that the Agency should promote and utilize their best people to provide the best in training to their Officers. Please explain to me where I have gone wrong, there must be some reason why agencies continue to perpetuate the status quo, mediocrity. It drives me up a wall.

On a positive note, ATCET Blaine has come alive and is doing a bang up job in the Northwest. Good people, good training, local support, good results...That is how it works.

Sheep they're all sheep..... National ID Cards...

Not to long ago, some politicians were spouting off about needing a national ID card or that drivers licenses had to meet federal standards. Have you forgotten? Those ideas didn't go over to well. Then came the push to have passports to enter the country and everyone had to have one or else, of course the uproar ensued. Imagine a US citizen having to show a passport to get into their own country. Do you know what would happen if the border agencies denied entry to a USC, oh my the congressionals would fly. So now the tactic has changed and the Secretary of DHS wants a cheap and convenient alternative to the passport... a card. My goodness people don't be sheep, these civil servants work for you, don't be so damn easy to manipulate!

Oklahoma Suicide Bomber....

Just a short note before I go long. Pay attention to this event! Even though the FBI doesn't want you too or maybe especially because they don't want you too. They are trying to downplay the event and for what they think is good reason, but it is time to pull our heads out... of the sand, and get into the battle. Denial hurts the cause, which is to keep us safe.

More will follow...
