Should the United States be concerned when the Department of Homeland Security cannot even protect American children from their own employees?

Employee of Transportation Security Administration (part of Homeland Security) was arrested for 2nd degree kidnapping after an incident with a 10 year old boy. He was found with several birthdates and SSNs.

Yeah, I feel safer now...
