Agreed, but maybe it is just a standard procedure now to send the Homeland Security guys along to double check and be sure?
I tend to wonder like you why they would be involved but post 9-1-1 perhaps the government is erroring on the side of caution ?
I dont know, just went looking for something that might explain their involvement.
That Sarbanes-Oxley guy was involved too and he helped write up all the new company reporting requirements so with his focus on terrorism he might have drafted some requirement / law ?
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot.
