DHS coworker

[j2k4r]

So today I just found out one of the new hires also works for DHS. I didnt find this out until after a lengthy HEATED debate over big government/2a/and loss of basically the entire bill of rights with another employee...that happen in front of the DHS employee...wonder if I am officially on the watch list now...looks like I need to watch what I say from now on huh?

There probably more people who work for DHS who are 2A defenders than not... coming from another person with an IC background.

^^^^^ This exactly. 1811 agents and 1801 officers are by a much larger percentage than the general population very Pro-2A.

Check the FEMA coffin stock-pile and see if there has been any reduction!

Wow didnt think this post would have 5 pages (on my phone) already lol ...I agree that 99.9% of DHS is pro constitution....I originally posted as a poke at DHS, glad that it hasnt started a verbal WW3 here!!!

That's because we have enough counter-measures in place, well the ones that planned ahead.

Hyperbole much?

I can show you the $1000 fine I paid for calling the pervert who grabbed my crotch a pervert. I missed my flight etc etc etc. Obviously you haven't flown lately or paid any attention to current events. Pull your head out and look around.

might have to put a bananna in their tailpipe

If you aren't on somebody's list, you aren't doing it right.

What HE said. Likely everyone on this forum is on 'a list'.

I can only wish I was such hot stuff that people or "perverts" as you call them are just dying to put their hands all over me.

I've flown plenty. Because I know how to behave, and don't walk in with a chip on my shoulder, I've never had a problem. On a handful of occasions I have also had to cross paths with TSA while working. My impression was that most of them are decent enough folks doing a difficult job, and just trying to earn a buck like the rest of us.

I have had my fair share of issue at the airport...I have 2 really good friends that are TSA. After my last issue I had...I wont fly from BWI or from Orlando ever

 

[on_the_rox]

Last flight I took I wore my ME + Beer = HAPPY^2 shirt. Turned out good. Lady at security said come here happy drinker and put me right through security unscathed. My wife on the other hand had to go through the full body scanner. Hmmmm, speaking of perverts.

 

[JOESTEELER]

Working two jobs DHS and with you damn they PAY alot in taxes.

 

[snakep]

Getting back to the initial post, DHS is a vast bureaucracy...left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing...I think you're ok.

Why do we need a Department of Homeland Security? Don't we have an FBI and scads of alphabet soup agencies already?

Because the Department of Redundancy Department would be too obvious.

Gotta keep 280,000 people employed...this includes the entire US Coast Guard, and the Secret Service to name a few...

Sgt Preston here...

One of the things I learned in my 45 year career was NOT to discuss the following things with my co-workers:

Abortion, Gay/ Lesbian Issues, Does she or doesn't she, Government & Guns...

Limit your conversations to how dirty the bathrooms are & how stale the coffee is...

There's been a "Television Repair" van parked across from my house ever since I joined this forum.

I've had black helicopters landing behind my house for the past two weeks. I wonder....

PS: I am dead serious. Two separate occasions I've had MSP HH-65s landing in the field behind my house.
