Holy men in black, Harvey. You mean I can finally fulfill my lifes
dream to work for NASA by getting a job as a baggage screener??? ;)

Depends on what the purpose of NASAs actions are (I'd love to see some
documentation of this, Harvey, because otherwise you are sounding
rather paranoid here). WHY would NASA be involved in aerospace national
security? Is it that the Defense department has been determined to be
riddled by muslim spies? Is it that NASA is the least dominated by
political hacks? Be an intel analyst here and figure it out.
