Congressman: 72 DHS employees are on terrorist watch list

Back in August, we did an investigation—the inspector General did—of the Department of Homeland Security, and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security. The director had to resign because of that. Then we went further and did and eight-airport investigation. We had staffers go into eight different airports to test the department of homeland security screening process at major airports. They had a 95 percent failure rate. We had folks—this was a testing exercise, so we had folks going in there with guns on their ankles, and other weapons on their persons, and there was a 95 percent failure rate.

Granted, being on the watch list does not make one a terrorist.  But if we're going to ban those on the list from owning guns, shouldn't we first ban them from the DHS?

We should ban both the list, and DHS**.

Fed.gov should feel free to investigate anyone they think is, or is planning to commit a crime.  But if they'd like to restrict their movements or rights, drag them into court* and prove it.

*Real court, not a classified court with classified charges and classified evidence.

**Department of Homeland Security<-->Committee for State Security.  It's only a matter of time before they get there.
