If "Homeland Security" is a myth, then why are the states and local governments asking to beef up They want the "Windfall" money. It's like "Job Training," the Federal boondoggle that gives money to the States that is used to "comp" various pressure groups. The Police and Fire Departments use the bucks for extras they want and say it was used for "Terrorist Security." Then they trot out horror stories to the public to justify even more money. They are the country's biggest experts at this "rain dance." The Coast Guard has had huge increases. The new Ship that are being built are a direct result of 911. The type of "Humant" Intel work it takes to get Al Qaeda is not very expensive and not flashy at all. So people think nothing is being done. I hope it is. It is the type of thing that we really have no way to evaluate until it is too late.
