More than 3,500 federal prison staffers won't face furloughs after all. Attorney General Eric Holder says he has moved $150 million to the Bureau of Prisons from other Justice Department accounts. That means no guard has to take a day off from work unpaid. Council of Prison Locals president Dale Deshotel told us the planned furloughs were causing panic among guards who feared for their safety. Inmates outnumber guards in federal facilities by more than four to one. Holder cautions staff, the spending bill Congress passed last week does not roll back budget cuts.

More important than air traffic control, apparently.
