Billions of dollars went down the hole of “Homeland Security”/TSA/Patriot Act/“War on Terror” preemptive paramilitary policing bullshit, and still we had nada on the Tsarnaevs. Even the video of the two suspects that aided in their capture came courtesy of the citizenry, and the missing suspect was discovered by a boatman out for a smoke. We have traded our rights for our security and received neither. Yet somehow you get that sick feeling that we’re going to be throwing even more money at our newest government agency, and several of the bureaucratic stooges will even get promotions over this episode.
