Bus Drivers: Our Best Defense Against Terrorism?

Our country's Homeland Security Department has a brand new strategy that keep terrorists from trashing our turf. You know our bus drivers: those surly men and women who arrive a your door to drag you kids to school? They are going to be apart of a watchdog team that's gunna keep a sharp eye out for terrorists.

CNN.com says that a program called School Bus Watch wants use 600,000 drivers across the country to be "an army of observers." If the drivers see any suspicious activity, they must get their passengers to safety and then contact their dispatcher or 911 immediately.

I suppose that this is a good idea. Perhaps these bus drivers are the key to defeating Al-Quaeda once and for all. I part of me isn't entirely sure. If you were a school bus driver-a person who spends most of each week driving loud, annoying kids to and from school, would you even feel like going on "Al-Quaeda patrol"? I just hope that, while going on terrorist hunts, America's bus drivers will also try to stop crashing so !@#$@#$ much. Did you her about the crash in Waldorf, Maryland? Or the Pittsburgh school bus company that was raided by police? And don't forget about what happened to that poor little 4-year-old boy from Chilton, Wis. Of course, some efforts are being made to prevent these accidents from happening, I don't want anymore people-especially children-get hurt. All I'm saying is be careful, bus drivers (all that goes for the rest of you drivers, too!).

Tell me what you think of the DHS's plan. Or better yet, tell them.
