RE: NY Times - nuke guards swamped by overtime

[Tim <kemps89@YAHOO.COM>]

More on Federalizing security guards...



More on Wackenhut...



Wackenhut, the leading employer of nuclear plant

security guards, is also the prime contractor for DOE

facilities.  Moreover, Wackenhut runs the DOE's

security training facility in Albuquerque.  They train

all DOE security guards and recently trained several

intelligence oficers in the NRC's NSIR group.



So, this private security organization who trains

Federal teams is somehow incapable of training

competent private security guards for nuke plants?  I

guess some people would rather replace the teachers

with the pupils.



In addition to this, in a recent competition,

Wackenhut security guards (those untrained,

unprofessional, incompetent private security bafoons -

this is sarcasm) won first place.



Who did they beat out? 16 other teams. Who did those

other 16 teams consist of?



- International counter-terrorist team

- Federal police

- Community police

- a small bunch of guys known as the U.S. Marines



Strange...Wackenhut is somehow incapable of training

security guards for nuclear power plants but somehow

manages to train people to beat out such amateurs such

as international counter terrorist teams and 

the US Marines.



*yawn* These silly accusations of nuke plant

incompetence are really getting annoying.
