Military Stumped by Stolen Box of Armor-Piercing Grenades
“Investigators determined the waylaid grenades were last seen eight months prior on an ammunition train that rolled out from Florida.”
“A series of security failures covered any tracks the thief left.”
“Armed guards who accompanied the shipment reported nothing. When the train reached Letterkenny, it was shuttled for the night to Rail Yard 1, an unsecured staging area outside the installation with no surveillance.”
Homer Simpson at the wheel:
“Upon arrival, workers didn’t verify whether anti-theft seals on each container were intact. An inspector didn’t check the seals the next day either, later saying it was because he couldn’t see them.”
“Military investigators would conclude that no one checked the seals in the weeks after the train departed Blount Island.”
This article includes an excellent comment section that appears to be unfiltered/suppressed by politicians or the mainstream press.
Don’t feel too bad DOD.

US military guns keep vanishing, some used in street crimes
“In the first public accounting of its kind in decades, an Associated Press investigation has found that at least 1,900 U.S. military firearms were lost or stolen during the 2010s, with some resurfacing in violent crimes. Because some armed services have suppressed the release of basic information, AP’s total is a certain undercount.”

For Years, US Army Hid, Downplayed Extent of Firearms Loss
“Using the unique serial numbers assigned to every weapon, AP identified 19 missing firearms that were not in the registry data. This included a M240B machine gun that an Army National Guard unit reported missing in Wyoming in 2014.”
“The Army could not explain the discrepancy.”

Nothing gets past @CBP’s K9 units?
Surely, a free and independent press will step up and ask for clarification on this wild CBP claim.

If REAL ID is critical to the safety of America, have travelers out at the airport been less safe since 911?
The new REAL ID requirement/deadline for domestic air travel has now been extended out more than 20 years past 911.
What keeps the terrorists of the GWOT from creating a disruption at the end of the screening line out at the airport?
