Social networking posts are increasingly the source of people's issues with prospective employment or school admissions. People do post some dumb stuff. I have even heard of certain jobs where applicants are asked to sit down at a computer and log in to their Facebook page to show the prospective employer what they have on their pages. I'm sure they can refuse but they certainly won't get the job.

This incident is pure rubbish (as the Brits would say). I am almost always a supporter of law enforcement and am a big fan of national security but this is another example of the Department of Homeland Security going wild. This is right up there with the elderly woman with the colostomy bag being forced to disrobe in a most humiliating way. The power they wield is unlike any other law enforcement agency and unfortunately there are instances like these that show the unbridled power gone amok.
