No Longer Passively Surveilling on the Border

Homeland (In)Security Chief Napolitano says she's retracting her statement to Congress that border officials are using "passive surveillance" to deal with the Mexican Swine flu.

I guess that sounds too much like "sitting on our collective ass."

Now border officials are asking tough questions, she says, like "are you feeling well?" and "where you been lately?" Apparently the answers are leading her to believe there is still no reason to close the border.

I feel so much safer.
