“Homeland Security’s mission has transformed from fighting terrorists to stealing women’s underwear for supposed intellectual property violations. What’s interesting is how since the department’s inception their goal was never to stop terrorism but to police the domestic population, be it through raiding toy stores for suspected copyright infringement one year after the department’s creation back in 2004, or panty raids as they just did in Kansas now ten years later. When there is no actual terrorists to police with all the high-tech police state gear you spent billions of taxpayers’ dollars on, you have to use it somewhere.”
