I've spoken to a few people who work for dod/dia et al as it relates to DHS/TSA. They say they employ 3 types of people: 1) those that need a job and don't care 2) those that like having authority over others but couldn't cut it in other jobs, and 3) those with bad grades, bad pedigree, etc who are trying to work their way up DHS and transfer to another agency from within.
