Alot of the egos and politics has to be addressed in order to curtail this terrorist threat, but I wonder at what expense ? I read where these laws enacted will be under a 4 year review by congress/sentate, and it would make sense to keep the Homeland Security act under constant review/renewal just to keep things in the open and on the up and up. Granted, there must be procedures and topics left unsaid, but when here in the NE a lot of Government computers were sold at auction with their HDD intact and Homeland Security procedures/training/purchases on there, one wonders how good all our efforts will be if slip ups like this occur?

BTW, are we at a DECLARED WAR in Pakistan and Afghanistan?
