Not Invented Here is a motto used often by those who don't trust others or who believe they can create the perfect gizmo. It's a motto that some of our government agencies use. For example, the Coast Guard has been working on a ship tracking system for five years although a system was readily available before the work began. It may not have been the best, but it worked.
Homeland Security seems to have finally accepted the fact that the Interpol system of tracking stolen passports does have merit. It does not do everything DHS would like but it's good enough so that a variety of governments - France, Barbados, New York City - have used it since 2004. How many have gotten into the U.S. with stolen passports in the interim?
