FEMA's Damaged Goods

Looks like FEMA has some nasty leftovers from the Katrina relief effort in a warehouse in Fort Worth, Texas. Last week, Government Security News reports, the agency issued a solicitation seeking a contractor to help it get rid of 478 pallets of "contaminated food products" in the warehouse. Pressed for details, the agency said the food wasn't exactly contaminated but had been "exposed to infestation hazards." It happens in any warehouse, FEMA insisted.

Whatever the exact nature of the problem is, FEMA wants to get rid of the damaged goods, pronto.
