re: #323 Killgore Trout

Actually, distilled to its essence, it’s politics as usual. I have no idea whether Southers is qualified or not, or whether his record is worthy of being chosen for the position. It would appear that he has the right kinds of job experience for the job, but my feelings towards DHS and TSA are such that they simply added another layer of bureaucracy rather than stripping away bureaucracy in a rush by Congress and the President to appear to have done something to fix the problem of lack of communications.

Lack of communications remains a major problem in sending critical information up the chain of command and to those that need to act on it on the front lines.
