Can You Believe That A Government Agency Has 72 Employees On The Do Not Fly List?

72 OF THIS AGENCY’S EMPLOYEES ARE ON TERRORIST WATCH LIST

A Democratic representative disclosed the results of a congressional investigation, and the results are shocking.

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) revealed the results on an interview with Boston Public Radio. Here are part of his remarks, as reported by FreeBeacon.com:

“Back in August, we did an investigation – the inspector general did – of the Department of Homeland Security and they had 72 individuals that were on the terrorist watch list that were actually working at the Department of Homeland Security. The [former DHS] director had to resign because of that.”

DHS continues to fail inspections aimed at determining the efficiency of its internal safety mechanisms, as well as its efforts to protect the nation.

Lynch referred to a recent report that found the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which is overseen by DHS, failed to stop 95 percent of those who attempted to bring restricted items past airport security.

“We had staffers go into eight different airports to test the department of homeland security screening process at major airports… We had folks – this was a testing exercise, so we had folks going in there with guns on their ankles, and other weapons on their persons, and there was a 95 percent failure rate.

“I have very low confidence based on empirical data that we’ve got on the Department of Homeland Security. I think we desperately need another set of eyeballs looking at the vetting process. That’s vetting that’s being done at major airports where we have a stationary person coming through a facility, and we’re failing 95 percent of the time.”

Lynch added he has ‘very low confidence’ in DHS based on its many failures over the years. For this reason, he voted in favor of recent legislation that will tighten the vetting process for any Syrian refugees applying for asylum in the United States.

It’s revealing that a Democratic Congressman – in one of the bluest, most liberal states in the country – has publicly said that “homeland security” is anything but secure. And it’s a travesty that six dozen security workers are also on the government’s terrorist watch list.

Do you think that Barack Obama is really serious about fighting terrorists from Islamic countries, or is he simply going through the motions?
