And; How long would a private business last if it spent millions trying to find a use for useless employees? (dumb question, I know-- a government doesn't have to produce anything. It's mainly a sophisticated form of welfare. On that note, I've often commented that we'd be better off paying certain people to stay OFF the job than to be paying them AND allowing them screw things up.)

To be honest, the border guards signed up for a job that would only involve making sure polite Canadians paid their tariffs/duty on contraband cheese and Gap clothing. Now that they add the guns to the mix, well, they didn't sign up for that. Let 'em go push pencils in the office. What’s really funny is that they went so long without firearms.

Sorry, but if you're a border guard with eyesight too bad to fire a gun, you might as well be landscape. Jeez, Barney Fife would be embarrassed.

They are public servants that took an oath. Maybe try jailing them for dereliction of duty. Or they can avoid prison by, from this point forward, you know, doing their JOB! Fire them?
