Reader Comment – 02-20-09

Early this morning Anonymous posted a comment to yesterday’s blog about the role-out of the Site Security Plan Tool. Actually, the comment was signed “a federal 10 year DSO”; I believe the DSO refers to a Defense Security Officer. In any case the comment was an extensive rant against the current FPS (Federal Protective Service, the people that provide security services for Federal Buildings and property). I have little personal experience with this organization, but have seen some news reports that indicate that there are problems with the funding, staffing, and leadership of this organization. Unfortunately, all of this has little to do with security at high-risk chemical facilities. At least I have heard nothing of any intention by anyone to use the FPS or any other governmental security service to provide security at these facilities.
