Homeland Security Tells Employees To Shut Up

Brass at the Homeland Security Department want to limit what sort of outside work employees can do. A new proposed rule, aimed at preventing conflicts of interest, would require employees to get permission before consulting, teaching or public speaking. For instance, if you work at Customs and Border Protection, you would not be allowed to work in agriculture or immigration. FEMA employees could not do work for the agency's contractors. The rule would exempt work for charities, churches and other non-profits.
