Mission Creep II

Earlier, I asked why the Centers for Disease Control was telling us what to do if a pipe burst.

Now, we have the (useless) Department of Homeland Security telling us to:

- Stay indoors during the storm.

- Walk carefully on snow, icy, walkways. 

Why DHS has to do this, I don't know. Perhaps it has to do with a nefarious terrorist plot to sell fake rock salt that doesn't really melt the snow.

Sounds to me like we know two agencies that have so little real, mission-related work that they can be the first to have their budgets cut to help with the huge federal deficit.
