Wasting taxpayer dollars on a technology that doesn't work to accomplish nothing useful. Think we found that fraud, waste, and abuse they've been looking for.

Relying on absolute horseshit technology to root out people.

This will mostly catch false positives and they won't find the leakers this way.

They really are all morons.
