India controls all of the USA IT anyway. If they wanted they could shut us down in 12 minutes!

"The Government Printing Office's decision to export the work has proved lucrative, allowing the agency to book more than $100 million in recent profits by charging the State Department more money for blank passports than it actually costs to make them"

Not only does it raise security concerns, but it is also completely unethical: taxpayers money being used to outsource jobs and making more profits??? Since when govt. agencies are supposed to make profits?
