That's scarey. Nothing is wrong and the government is coming to help. - Administered by the Texas-based Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security and no other than Homeland Security driving the rig. Good Lord Mabel, and right here in River City.
I wonder if this training includes monitoring private citizens email accounts, Facebook etc? I have nothing to feel guilty about but I remember the Bush era and that monitoring went way over the line constitutionally. Let's keep an eye on this story.
