On one hand this is a good move. On the other hand, we know where they are and we know who they are if we keep the Kooks in the Hen House. I once received a letter in response to a complaint I had lodged with the USDA FDA food inspection division, (concerning Prunes purchased from Costco imported from Argentina that were fresh and full of working fruit maggots.) The letter was written by a staff attorney claiming to be a certified Entomologist, out of DC for FDA, informing me that "worms were safe for human consumption". As it turns out he was not educated with any studies of record in his educational history. My complaint was WHY were these Prunes not Inspected by the FDA while the packaging clearly stated they had been inspected. The answer I received from the mental midget was, "the USDA/F&DA 'sells' the label to the importers of foreign produce inorder to expedite shipments."
I am convinced that Federal “employees” are not blatantly stupid, but in time they vegetate due to lack of challenge and learned abject laziness. It appears to be irreversible.
Civil servants' lavish career protections emerged after President James Garfield was assassinated. That prompted Washington D.C. to want to reduce pressure on newly elected presidents to hire so-called "outsiders" who claimed to deserve gubmint jobs in exchange for their electoral support. Nevertheless, civil servants aren't particularly civil, and they hardly consider themselves to be servants of the public either. They pressure prison guards to mistreat alleged tax-evaders particularly harshly, as the fairly recently released Walt Anderson can confirm.
