Thanks to a report by Colorado’s Independence Institute based on FOIA requests, we now know that the Department of Homeland Security loses about 1,000 computers a year. You read that right. And DHS has absolutely no idea where they are. Fear not, though, because a department spokesman assures an incredulous public that no one is at risk because there wasn’t any sensitive information on the lost computers.
Assuming that’s true, then why did DHS need the computers in the first place? If there is nothing particularly important stored on the computers such that losing 1,000 of them in one year doesn’t impede DHS’s ability to secure the homeland, why spend taxpayer money on them? Maybe that money could be better spent on other programs that help prevent another undie-bomber. You know, something that helps the system “work.”
