Bagpipes Withdrawn

Sequestration didn't stop the Homeland Security Department from ordering bagpipes, drums and accessories. That took lots of bad publicity. The Examiner reports, DHS has withdrawn a solicitation for the musical equipment. The original request for quotes was reprinted on several conservative websites. Eventually, the widely-read Drudge Report picked it up. Yesterday, DHS withdrew the request. The bagpipes and drums were to be used by Customs and Border Protection.
