Private planes, air conditioning for garbage trucks, and more ways states squander money in the name of "security"
Millions have been squandered on "homeland security" over the past decade. The costs to our liberty have also been too high.
Earlier this year, a reporter at a small community newspaper got the answer to a question she'd been asking for months: "Are there really 33 terrorist organizations in St. Paul, Minnesota?"
That's what her county sheriff claimed in the budget reports he submitted to his superiors.
According to her investigation, however, his anti-terrorism unit had been squandering taxpayer money for months on end, and getting away with it by pretending to be guardians of homeland security.
