I would say they should use Unix or a derivative thereof but I am completely against another agency that will take away even more of my rights and freedoms than the Patriot Act, Amber Bill, etc. already have. Not to mention more or less useless government spending that could be used for more worthy things like perhaps paying teachers more.
