Loose Lips Sink Ships Award nominee

Clark Kent Ervin (drop the Kent already, Super Dork) is Jenna's nominee for a WTF award, and he is an early nominee for my Loose Lips Sink Ships Award. Here's why:

The book is 230 pages of score-settling and a drumbeat of "alarming security lapses" at DHS, Ervin writes. "I did my job, but the department's leaders have not done theirs."

Our colleague Spencer S. Hsu reports that publisher Palgrave Macmillan has printed 150,000 copies of Ervin's case, which singles out port security, air cargo screening and the borders as the nation's most vulnerable points.


I'm telling you, we're in an age of irresponsibility.
