US crackdown on bioterror is backfiring
An astonishing percentage of federal agency managers are imbeciles who should not be allowed to wander around in public. Apparently the FBI has a particularly high concentration.
This stupidity is causing the loss of actual knowledge, but the morons enforcing this are checking boxes on their resumés and could care less about the long range effects of their actions. That attitude neatly sums up that of at least 80% of the federal managers I have known in my career. Every position is a stop on the way to the next position, possibly a contract job after retiring from federal service. They are so intent on checking the right boxes for the next position, they hardly take the time to learn what the present one is.
When I was much younger and very naive, I believed that those in charge were put there because they were wise, competent, and caring. Mostly, they are none of those things.
