RE:"Louisiana and New Orleans have received a total of about $750 million in federal emergency and terrorism preparedness grants in the last four years, Homeland Security Department officials said."

So where did that money go? Gulp? Will we ever know? Could have bought a lot of buses for $750 million...

about $750 million in federal emergency and terrorism preparedness grants

That was terrorism money only. Come on, now they are putting the word "emergency" in the front of it as if this money was ever earmarked for natural disasters of any kind.

Personally I think terrorism is less of a danger to the US than natural disasters so I consider most of the homeland security money to be a waste.
