I hope the email is fake. Yet I would not be surprised if it wasn't. Most government employees I have met are not really that intelligent. Add that to a bit of power and little to no accountability and you have an instant recipe for disaster.

For an organization who's sole purpose is the security of the American people, they're awfully bad at doing things that ensure the security of the American people.
