Remember two posts ago when I mentioned that Bush has reassured us that "people don't need to worry about security."? Well surprisingly he was wrong.
Now I don't believe Brooklyn dancer, Vado Diomande, is a terrorist (although looking at that outfit, I imagine that he might be a trifle annoying), but it is very frightening that in this post 9/11 time he was able to walk through customs with goat skins that he planned to use to make drums. In case you don't know, bringing animal skins into the US is expressly forbidden unless declared to customs and checked for biological agents, especially Anthrax. Fortunately Vado and his family have been the only ones so far who have contracted the deadly spore, and they should be fine after treatment, though the Center's for Disease Control are looking into others who might have bought drums with the Anthrax laced goat skin.
It just amazes me that for all the money and manpower we put into Homeland Security someone can just walk right in with Anthrax. Wait, that doesn't amaze me. In the time of Bush we live in a world of absurdity, and looking at Vado it doesn't get much more crazy than this.
