Rejoice

One of the odd features of the War on Terror has been the sending of money to local police forces where there seemed to be no particular terror threat.

Of course, maybe it worked - and that's why there has been so little terror in small towns across America.

We've had a few serious threats here in Cook County, but we've also wasted 45 million dollars in surveillance equipment:

The report states that current county officials said "it appears highly unlikely that the installed equipment could be used effectively in an emergency situation." The county now is trying to salvage and reuse what it can to improve countywide security.

If you're worried about the Big Brother state,
rejoice that their competence isn't so great.
