I don't get why DHS needs this, but I find it pretty freaking hilarious that they are needing bodhrans for a pipe/drum corps. :D

wow .
personally, i dont think US federal dollars should be going for this, & I'm a highland piper. :x

PS imho the bhodrans are padding the bid & I strongly suspect they will end up on someones shelf. In fact probly most of the items will. your tax dollars at work folks. Is this real?????? :-?

edit: this bid was opened & cancelled in under 24 hours.
Aparently someone is awake at DHS, (highly unlikely,) or having bit of a laugh.

I don't know ... When you get patted down by TSA and then frog-marched off to their mini-prison for a full cavity search, being drummed off by a pipe band in full regalia would be nice.

Or maybe they're organizing musical recreation for our guests at Guantánamo. Some Pakistanis seem to have an affinity for the pipes.

Yeah, this is definitely WΤF.
