AIMLESSLY UNBALANCED

Last night on NBC News , there was a story about Homeland Security using Wackenhut Security services. Now this is scary. Why ?
Wackenhut is well known for contracting with various companies to supply them with answers to their security and safety needs. However , Wackenhut is also well known for filling those positions with any one they can find , regardless of experience , training , or even certification. Hey , a piece of paper is a piece of paper.
Yes , it is true Wacenhut gives all employees 4 hours of training right up front before going to their assigned locations. However , that training is to inform the new employees of Wackenhut policies and to get them finger printed. And nothing else. ( is'nt it interesting , our politicians don't require finger printing )
On the down side , Wackenhut is known for charging their clients extra for training and pay raises. Wackenhut keeps that extra money to themselves. Yep , it's true.
What does all this mean ? Simple , with Wackenhut , you don't know what you get for people doing safety or security. They may not know what they are doing , not understand english , not have a drivers liscence , may not be old enough to carry a gun.
What's the point Jerry ? Simple , Homeland Security does contract work thru Wackenhut. Now , will you sleep better at night ?
Jerry , how do you know this ?
I worked security/EMT for Saturn. Wackenhut has their contract. And , despite Saturn giving Wackenhut money for pay raises , we did'nt see it. Other people working there , got in thru politics. I was hired because I had a real EMT liscence.
