There's an official Homeland Security store, where government employees can purchase DHS golf gloves, a $310 DHS 5-piece Pickard China place setting, and a Transportation Security Administration holiday ornament. But those of you who love freedom, but have no government email address, will have to find other ways to display you inner anti-jihadist resolve, since this store is employees only.
That saddens THREAT LEVEL. I really want the DHS silver plated cuff links $25 and a DHS shot glass (only $3!). While I ache to drink some small-batch Kentucky bourbon out of a DHS shot glass, I'm not quite brave enough to fake a government email address to get one.
Any government employees out there reading? Would you ship THREAT LEVEL a shot glass or some cuff links? Of course, we'll scrounge some change to pay you back, and if you are worried about the money trail, I'll even drop you the cash via e-gold, sent to a middle man via well-concealed cash in an envelope, or funnel it through a Hawala network if you are a spy under deep cover.
Send the good stuff to 520 Third Street, Suite 305, San Francisco, CA 94107.
UPDATE: The store seems to be offline as of Friday afternoon. I'd like to think that's only because so many readers tried to order a shot glass at once, but it's much more likely that the site was taken down because terrorists found the site and tried to order DHS travel mugs. Sources tell me nothing says not-a-terrorist in the Pakistani wilds like walking around with a DHS insulated mug full of chai.
