Homeland Security High School Launches In Fall

Joppatowne High School in Harford County, Maryland, is first in the nation to offer a 75-student magnet program centered on HOMELAND SECURITY. The program, called the Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Magnet Program, focuses on "preparing high school students for careers in disaster response, high-level computer science and law enforcement" and begins in the fall. Students "will be given limited security clearances to enable them to perform internships at nearby Aberdeen Proving Ground, where the military develops and tests conventional and biological weapons." Selected students will study "public safety, border control, religious ideology, geospatial technology, cybersecurity, and threat identification."

They'll probably have "hall monitors" who make you remove your shoes and empty your pockets before entering the bathroom....

Anonymous should do well in the program, having the three essential prerequisites of a "security" agent: anonymity, bad grammar and belligerency.
