Lost: FBI Laptops and Weapons

Posted on Feb 12, 2007

You didn’t happen to see, oh ... let’s say, about 160 FBI laptops, did you? They’re really important and some of them have top-secret info inside them. The FBI seems to have lost track of them in the last four years. Oh, also while you’re looking,  keep an eye out for the 160 weapons it just reported missing.

Washington Post:
The FBI lost 160 laptop computers in less than four years, including at least 10 that contained highly sensitive classified information and one that held “personal identifying information on FBI personnel,” according to a new report released today.

The bureau, which has struggled for years to get a handle on sloppy inventory procedures, also reported 160 missing weapons during the same time period, from February 2002 to September 2005, according to the report by the Justice Department inspector general’s office.

Well that proves it. 911 happened because the FBI’s so damned incompetent. Just another wasteful government bureaucracy. So just forget anything you may have heard about a rogue network of moles killing pre-911 investigations. They just…well, you know…lost the computers used to track the patsies…errrr, I mean the hijackers. Yeah, that’s it. That’s the ticket. Yeah, they…like lost the computers. Yeah, that’s it.

With our government we don’t need any outside enemies - “We have met the enemy and he is us”
