The article mentioned in the conversation suggests that the incident with the DHS employee may highlight the need for more thorough background checks and additional questions regarding potential criminal history.

Hello,

What's with the hiring practises of your Homeland "Security" department?

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewPolitics.asp?Page=/Politics/archive/200604/POL20060406a.html

Is juvenile behavior one of the criteria for running the USGovt? Is juvinile predation a pre-requisite? In BC, Canada we had a Premier (like your head of a state) busted for DUI in Hawaii. We got great mug shots out of the deal but he's still Premier.

In Alberta we had the Premier knuckle wrapped for Drunken Abuse of homeless people. He's still Premier too.

But, holy**** you guys, remember, you, "the people", are their employees.

There is nothing in this article that indicates that he had a criminal history that could have been "checked", so this is stupid.

"She added that she hopes the incident will encourage DHS to "[look] at how thorough its background checks are and maybe some additional questions that they will need to ask of those seeking a security clearance."

This only makes sense if he had a criminal history that could be checked, and if he does, why would this article fail to state that? Ask questions like what "although you have no current criminal history, are you a pedophile?"

Thread locked.

You're paying them.

There are certainly some concerning issues raised by this recent news about a DHS official being involved in a sex sting. It raises questions about the hiring practices and background checks of the department, and whether they are thorough enough to prevent individuals with such behavior from obtaining high-level security clearances.

It is important for any government agency, especially one dealing with national security, to have strict policies and procedures in place to ensure that those in positions of power and responsibility are of the utmost integrity and character. Juvenile behavior and predatory tendencies should never be tolerated or accepted as qualifications for running the government.

It is also concerning that similar incidents have occurred in Canada, with high-level officials being involved in inappropriate and illegal behavior. As citizens, we have the right to hold our government officials accountable and demand that they uphold a certain standard of conduct. After all, as taxpayers, we are essentially their employers.

It is important for these issues to be addressed and for measures to be put in place to prevent them from happening in the future. Our national security and the trust of the public are at stake.
