Report: Guards Caught Napping on Job at Social Security
Private security guards protecting the Social Security Administration were found napping, watching television, chatting with co-workers, talking for hours on the phone and failing to examine identification badges at checkpoints, according to a report.
The report, by the agency's office of inspector general, details several concerns about guards employed by a private security firm that provides security services at federal installations across the Washington area. The company says it has made changes to protective services at the SSA headquarters in suburban Baltimore and disputes some of the conclusions published in the report released last week.
