Today, Adam Andrzejewski, CEO of OpenTheBooks, is published in the Washington Times with an editorial, "Firepower for the Feds?"

* Who is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) preparing to battle after procurement orders for 1.7 billion bullets and 452 million hollow-point rounds?
* Why isn't the U.S. border secure? Since 1993, the number of border and immigration officers tripled from 20,000 to 60,000, as undocumented entrants also tripled.
