Missing Equipment

This article from this morning's San Antonio Express-News describes more missing law enforcement equipment, this time from the state. The number of missing weapons is especially worrisome.

For information on over $30 million dollars worth of federal equipment (some of it sophisticated surveillance equipment) that is still unaccounted for, despite the fact that a detailed, itemized list of this was submitted to Lamar Smith and he promised to look into it, please see my post here from 11/17/09 entitled "Illegal Surveillance Summary".

Serious Concern

I'm very concerned that some or all of Brian Collister's reported over $30 million worth of missing Homeland Security equipment might be in the hands of organized crime here. Since he said on the air that he'd turned over the documentation of the missing items to Lamar Smith, I hope Smith looked into this carefully.
