Federal Fail, TSA

In recent undercover tests of multiple airport security checkpoints by the Department of Homeland Security, inspectors said screeners, their equipment or their procedures failed more than half the time, according to a source familiar with the classified report.

When ABC News asked the source if the failure rate was 80 percent, the response was, “You are in the ballpark.”

Federal Fail, oroville dam

Been watching the unfolding drama of the California Oroville dam which is in the process of failing? Well, it seems the feds were told 12 years ago that the dam and spillways were unsafe. No action taken. It never rains in California, right? Oops, another federal fail.

Yet another Federal Fail. Personal info on 4.5 million people stolen from Obamacare website.

A healthcare system spanning 29 states announced on Monday that cybercriminals operating from China stole information on approximately 4.5 million patients, including names, birth dates, and Social Security numbers.

If you are on, or applied for, Obamacare you might be one of the victims. Do you think Obama shares your pain?
