Why is it that the gub’ment can repeal and/or change a few amend­ments with­out a sec­ond thought (the Anti-Terrorism Act that makes hack­ing an act of ter­ror­ism, the man­date that ter­ror­ists can be tor­tured, and the order that sus­pected ter­ror­ists can be tried in secret mil­i­tary courts with­out the right to appeal), yet it takes them months to fig­ure out if they want our air­port secu­rity guards to be gov­ern­ment employ­ees or gov­ern­men­tally trained/tested pri­vate rent-a-cops? 

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Com­mu­nists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Com­mu­nist. 
Then they came for the trade union­ists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade union­ist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
