Canceled?
Well,why not. I mean,it’s not as if they have stopped hundreds of terrorists (ZERO). Might as well have some screechy music while being groped.
Underrrrrrrcoverrrrrr equipment furrrrrrr catchin’ all those Scottish terrrrrrrrrrrrrorrrrrrrrrrrrists, don’t ya know…
Good idea; Border drones.
Part of the strategy for maintaining a low key tyranny is the need for symbolic displays of pageantry. So yes, the Washington junta will prioritize state displays of pageantry over the needs of the people.
Everybody knows that the sound of the Pipes will make an Arab terrorist take to his heels faster than the sound of a 12 gauge pump being racked.
Play Scotland the Brave for me, Big Sis. (I shudder to think what Napolitano looks like in a kilt though. Just one of her legs is probably the size of Eric Holder.)
It is also comical to note the speed with which this order was cancelled after Drudge put it up as a headline. I bet ol’ Janet Thunderthighs phoned them up and screamed at them personally.
Bagpipe noise is a lot farther away from music than Obama is from Communism!!!!!
I can’t stand either of them but I would rather have a Bagpipe visit my
home than Obama or any of his ILK!!!
Oh they’ll likely discover that if ‘Janet’ is sporting a kilt, they’ll find a ‘wee set of bagpipes’.
Well ah course ye all knew they were administering a madhouse didn’ ye?

DHS is really code for Devilishly Hidebound Scots, they cancelled the bagpipes in favour of kilts. I mean it makes it so much easier for DHS staff te handle your ‘package’ every time ye travel…

That is just appalling! Who uses carbon reeds?
Commissar Napolitano’s People’s Militia is going to field a pipe band?
Very ambitious plans.
Talk about stupidity. Wouldn’t someone just buy reeds out of petty cash. I suspect the bid threshold is way too low. The bidding process must cost considerably more than the cost of the items. Wouldn’t it be a better idea to simply pay musicians $100, $200 or whatever per year to supply and maintain their own instrument.
I would really much rather they fiddle while America was burning.
Do you think they take requests?
Hopefully Janet does not wear the kilt regimental.
Wannabe cops with their own regimental band. Can’t wait for the next parade. Now Mall cops will really feel deprived as most of them have probably had better training and education. Being perverted is not mandatory with Mall cops either.

Well they *had* to cancel the order, as it included items which the TSA bans:
LI 042: Sgian Dubhs, 14, EA;
In other words, a small knife, usually carried tucked inside your sock, against the calf of your leg.
KNIFE!!!! (TSA agent faints dead away)
“Talk about stupidity.” No,it isn’t,scar. You have to think like a bureacrat. If you do not spend your complete budget adn more,your next budget “may” be slashed. Now how do you expect the poor “empire builders” to carry on doing that?
Yeah well…
Pity the mon that hears the pipes that war’nt barn in Scotland.
This just more evidence that all this sequester nonsense is…nonsense.
There is no word that the order of enough 40 cal hollowpoint to shoot every US citizen 5 times has been cancelled or cut back.
there’s more music in a duck call than there is in the agony bag
One bagpipe may be the sound of standing on a cats tail but in relation to the military, they go together like peanut butter and jam. Homeland security will never achieve more than a wannabe military status. They are nothing more than a modern version and a poor replica of Hitlers Brown Shirts. History goes back a long way with bagpipes and the military. DHS is a insult to both.

L1008: Bagpipe sheet music for “Three Blind Mice” and “The Great Pretender”.
Comedy is not my strong suite…but I always figured that the mention of bagpipes in a joke was a sure winner….
Something like “Moosejaw” is a favourite with Brit comics….
