Untrained people on horses to look for terrorists near airports
Bruce Schneier of Counterpane Security wrote a short piece for The Register about the Houston Airport's ridiculous plan to recruit amateurs to ride around on their horses and patroll the grounds near the airport.
Want to help fight terrorism? Want to be able to stop and detain suspicious characters? Or do you just want to ride your horse on ten miles of trails normally closed to the public? Then you might want to join the George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) Airport Rangers program. That's right. Just fill out a form and undergo a background check, and you too can become a front-line fighter as Houston's airport tries to keep our nation safe and secure. No experience necessary. You don't even have to be a US citizen.Sounds like a great opportunity for unemployed idiots who drool at the prospect of harassing people but failed the test to become a cop. Link
