What possible business can H.S. have with vials of deadly diseases?
If there is a god, they wanted to take a good look inside whether the stuff is still in there.

1914? Are you high?
Businesses are so intertwined internationally that it is virtually impossible to start a war with anyone without offending at least half the businesses in your country. And that's something no government on this planet can afford.
Hate to pull the Godwin here, but it fits.
People during WW2 who dared to help those that were prosecuted for no other crime than being who they are were living in constant danger. Not just of being arrested or inconvenienced, but of being killed. Along with their family. Still, people did just that. By far not many, but surprisingly many. They sure as hell could not hope for fame and glory (especially during the first years when it sure looked like Germany would win that war), actually all they could expect is that sooner or later they'll be betrayed and end their life in a concentration camp.
Sometimes some things are more important than your convenience.
Guess someone took hook, line and sinker the spin that the US population doesn't support what Snowden did...
Same cost, same corruption and same amount of taxpayer money being squandered, but at least you do NOT get anything for it instead of getting inconvenience and surveillance.
I'd say it's a step in the right direction.
Dude, you have to learn how to read slogans. "Yes we can" means "We CAN, but we DON'T". And Hope and change means that you may hope for change. If you so please. It's a free country after all.
Seriously. Did anyone really expect anything just 'cause the guy is from the other end of The Party?
If daddy Stalin taught us anything then all that's needed is a firing squad. Or, if you have the bunch all rounded up in a building, just enough TNT to level it.
If history tells us anything, then that a single man who does things unsupervised can do a lot less harm than a whole governmental organization who does things unsupervised.
But certainly. How about Security Squad?
As long as politicians explode, who would argue against it?
Just how do you add principle to congress?
So
Because the unemployable get more and more and there's little you can do against it save putting them in some sort of government busywork job.
I mean, seriously, what's the requirement for becoming a DHS goon? Being able to walk on two legs without dragging your knuckles too much on the floor, as far as I can tell.
Well, that, or if that fails... what was that thermonuclear option again? It sounds like it could solve things. Or dissolve, at least.
By that definition the US founding fathers would be terrorists, I get it?
Not judging, just trying to keep up with the lingo du jour.
They are not failing.
Failing would imply they're trying.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
