Why did the Department of Homeland Security order a bagpipe?

  1. Why not? They’ve ordered everything else.

    (Actually, it looks like Customs and Border Protection is getting a 14 or 15 member pipe and drum band, which won’t be the worst use of the tax payers money; I once ordered $2,000.00 worth of shop towels when I couldn’t think of anything else to order and the LT said we gotta use all money or it’ll get cut. That method should have gone away with slide rules.)

  2. @CCD #13 – Drudge got hold of this and posted it Yesterday morning. By a little after 8:00 AM the order was already cancelled. I posted it as http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/dhs-acquires-enhanced-interrogation-technology/ at OTB. Since a lot of larger law enforcement units have bagpipes corps for funerals I suspect that was the intended purpose. I wonder if they were expecting a lot more losses of agents in the near future. As far as I know the most dangerous area would likely be border control to the south.

    They mean to win Wimbeldon!

    Because stealing one would be wrong.

    It went with the 5,000 tons of Haggis they’ve been hoarding.

    Let us just say Airline passengers are going to be begging for the Pat-Down search from now on.

    Spend it or lose it!

    It was for a not so clever ploy to infiltrate Al-Qaeda.

    The store was out of Ammo.

    Bagpipes can be quickly converted into Semi-Automatic Assault rifles in 3 easy steps.

  4. To scare away Illegal Immigrants at the border to make them think the ghost of William Wallace is after them….but it doesnt work, they think its Mel Gibson so they come even faster across hoping to get a free alcoholic drink.

  5. Because they were told to conduct clan-destined operations.

    Because illegal immigrants have been getting away Scot-free.

    Because they were told that so many illegals had invaded our country that it is time to pay the piper.

  6. So Obama could say “That’s not my wife, that’s a bagpipe” when Harvey makes fun of Michelle for wearing plaid in public.
    So Obama could say “That’s not my wife, that’s a bagpipe” during dinner.
    So Obama could say “That’s not my wife, that’s a bagpipe” to the Secret Service banging on door during sex.

  7. Because they heard that in order to secure New York City, they had t secure Lung Highland Sound.

    Because when Janet Napoleon-tano said she wanted to hear “Heil” and marching music, they thought she said Hiighland marching music.
