“Booz Allen earned $1.3 billion pretending to protect approximately nobody from a mostly non-existent threat.

Ex-public servants walk through the revolving door into the company’s plush offices… and they get rich too. What’s not to like? And who’s going to oppose more anti-terrorism spending? But wait, there’s more!”
