Well That Just Makes Sense

I remember one of the things emphasized during the creation of the Department of Homeland Security was the need for the different government agencies to communicate with each other and share information. So it's only logical that we now have reports like this:

The Republican-led House is preparing to make the secrecy restrictions even more lunatic by actually leaving police officers subject to felony conviction if they dare to share interesting data on illicit dealers with colleagues in other departments. The criminalizing of peace officers for swapping federal data beyond their narrow jurisdictions is only one of the provisions in a pair of treacherous bills quietly on the move, in another sweeping triumph for the gun lobby.
