TL;DR: At best, this will show that Bitcoin enthusiasts don't have a smidgen of common sense between them; are not to be trusted with money; will spend 2.5 million dollars US for shit that is free. Scratch that, "an unfinished, untested version of what they could have had for free."

The TSA just paid IBM $1,400,000 for an iPad app that randomly chooses left or right.

So you're telling me that a government agency might have paid too much on an iPad app*?
And got, at least, a working app?*
For roughly half as much as Thermos "spent" on an unfinished, non-working version of software which is available FOR FREE? Shocked

*from linked article by intrepid journalist who wants to be the Julian Assage of Transportation Security Administration:
"Unfortunately we don't know everything the TSA got for that $1.4 million. They might have just gotten the iPad app; they might have gotten iPads, or work on multiple different apps, including the TSA Randomizer. We only know it's associated with the TSA Randomizer based on the FOIA request that returned this document."
