I saw a similar mix of good plus failures two other places, but I can't come up
with them at the moment.  All of them indicated either failure out-of-the-box or
after a few months.

Doesn't the whole world already know Americans under 45 can't spell?
No one I respect wants much to do with DHS either.  Or the CIA.  
They need to have a choke-chain put on and pulled tight.  Plus a shock collar.
