According to the NY Daily News, New York's FBI agents are seriously underfunded in their technology. Many agents are without government e-mail addresses, or wireless internet access. There had been a special Blackberry program for the Feds, which had been cut a few weeks ago, although, thanks to complaints from FBI supervisors and the press, the funding has been restored.
What amazes me is that stuff like this has become standard in the way our government is run. We're not talking about the office of the Department of Agriculture, but the FBI...In NEW YORK CITY. Hotmail can give out free e-mail addresses like Jay-Z gives out turkeys on Thanksgiving, but the US Government can't provide e-mail addresses for its agents? Whoh...I don't know what's the bigger threat; terrorism or our leaders' incompetence.
