Want to feel better? Well if one of the Major Campaign Contributing companies like our friends at oh, say, Lockheed-Martin whose security bidness fails to perform as paid for in the prevention of another Terrorist attack is found to be at fault, well they're not liable.
Four companies that sell security technology have been granted liability protection from lawsuits triggered by an act of terrorism, the Department of Homeland Security plans to announce today.
...
Among those receiving the limited liability protection is Bethesda-based Lockheed Martin Corp.'s risk assessment platform, the computer system at the heart of the aviation screening program called CAPPS II. It is designed to use public records and intelligence to determine whether an individual poses a security threat.
As I recall the CAPPS program was defeated by four MIT students and a secret decoder ring last year. But hey, this is the Accountability Administration Run By Adults, remember? Yeah, unless they have intimate access to the Executive Branch. Well, I guess there's more than one kind of blowjob that's available in the Oval Office...and it has nothing to do with Pickles and Preznit Hump-a-Lump.
