      It’s called the uncanny valley. Some believe it’s an instinctual response to keep you away from corpses. Others say it’s more broadly an artifact from a time when humanity needed to be wary of things that looked human but weren’t…

    The head of Homeland SECURITY doesn’t have good enough security to keep her bag from being stolen?

    Probably stolen by a member of her own security detail.

    Fucking hilarious.

      I once knew a rich guy who carried two envelopes in his suit pockets. One carried small bills for tips and such, and the other carried large bills because “you never know when you are going run across a good gun deal.”

    I’d be willing to bet she just lost it and is blaming crime just as a deflection.

      With all that’s going on, my instinct is that she had secrets or something in there on a USB stick and passed it onto another country while blaming crime. (Or that is, crimes other than her own.)

    Who goes out with $3k cash? Even if you are so wealthy that the quantity is like $20 for normal people, that’s enough to make you a target if someone discovers you have it.

      Idk, one time I had $20k in cash. It happens.

      Typically when you’re moving money, such as buying or selling something.

        I bet you didn’t casually leave it in your unattended bag. I paid $5k cash for a car once and planned that payment out carefully to minimize the time I had the money in hand.

          I once did some consulting for the IAEA in Vienna. They paid you in CASH at that time. As an American I felt really really uncomfortable walking around Vienna with 3-4k in my pocket. Austrians thought nothing of doing so.

            Compare the crime rates in both countries and you’ll find out why the difference in attitudes.

          No, its tied to my belt and inside my pants right next to my dick.

          The fact that she has $3k isnt surprising. What’s surprising is how they stole it from her without having to mug her with a weapon.

      The bag could have cost anything.

      The title says she has $3000 in cash.

        It would be a funny onion article to talk in depth about the very specific items, brands of makeup, number of coins, etc.

        Yes. And the article has words AND numbers in it. I have it on good authority.
