I found out several years ago that my old neighbor was busted for child pornography.

Guess who busted him, in an elaborate multi-state task force's sting? Homeland Security.

Now, don't get me wrong, people like that need to be busted....but WTF is Homeland Security doing busting child pornographers? In my wildest stretch of logic, I cannot draw a parallel between child pornography and threats to national security.

What, making our ports and airports safe, ie. doing the job they were ostensibly created for, isn't "busy work" enough?
