How has the debate over federal-state relations been affected by efforts to increase homeland security? · How much federal money is being provided to state and local governments for meeting homeland security costs? Who decides how this money is spent? · What are the advantages and disadvantages of allowing programs to be designed and implemented at the state level? · In the area of homeland security, can states function as "laboratories of democracy," in the same sense that they do with respect to other issues such as welfare reform and health care provision?
Homeland security to use mind reading technology to screen Terrosits? Well that one is hard to believed, but they are planning to setup mind readings at international airports to read the subconscious intentions of the peoples in order to find the terrorist minds... Knowing how large they could go using this expression (terrorist minds), that I would not be surprised to learned that they can read other things too... Talk about a wide new concept of BigBrother... Where they want to read your minds too!! http://www.switched.com/2007/09/20/department-of-homeland-security-considers-mind-control-tech/ Some will believed that technologically we are not there... Yet having read about the Aktion programs and its childs after WWII, I would not be surprised that they could pull it out! But what are your thoughs about this new invasion? Well not sure this SSRM technology is non invasive... This is Russian tech, in case peoples don't know, and its pretty active, as it can know what the subconscious is thinking at the time... We will see...
What is the purpose of Homeland Security? I am asking because this particular agency doesn't fit into our government. Here is what I mean: The Central Intelligence Agency protects the United States in other countries. The National Security Agency protects the United States' borders. The Federal Bureau of Investigation protects the United States within our borders. So, to ask the question once again, what is the purpose of Homeland Security. One more thing, I want excellent resources from you or your answer will not be considered. Also, DO NOT list Wikipedia as a resource.
How long do we wait to get through Homeland Security? My friend is waiting to get through a Homeland Security check before she can get a job. She is English. Does anyone know how long this should take? We've already waited 6weeks. Is this normal or is there some holdup?
Does the department of homeland security check for traffic violations? On a recent visit to the US, my relative was r stopped by the police for a traffic violation. In addition to receiving a ticket, she wasn't driving with licence/proof of insurance. She got two more tickets. By the time her court date came up, she had already returned home from vacation. Will this be a problem when she visits again? Could homeland security detain her? How can she take care of it so that she has no problem on vacation?
Is it possible to report on people using Yahoo answers to the Homeland Security? Just asking cause I posted a silly question under immigration about how to best immigrate into the USA illegally to get some funny answers(which I did :))))Unfortunately I cannot show you the question cause it got reported on and removed, and some furious or maybe sexdeprived guy/girl called me a terrorist threath and said that he/she reported me to homeland security. Do you think they really care about what people write on a forum like this? I live in the European Union so I'm wondering if I ever want to go to the USA they would deny me entrance for something like this. Thanks for all the answers. I'll send a postcard from Guantanamo (lol)
Leaving a county job for a federal job with Homeland Security? I've only been with the county for four months, but I have a meet and greet for a federal job. The pay is very similiar. Is a federal job that much better? I would feel bad leaving so soon but if the opportunity is better then I would. The new job is with the Department of Homeland Security.
Do you all realize that Homeland Security is not protecting you in America? Our borders are not enforced allowing anyone in America. Our government is more concerned about political correctness than safety. We certainly do not want to 'insult' a minority. Why aren't all rights suspended when an individual walks through security at an airport? Isn't our safety worth that? I could go on and on regarding the government's 'smoke and mirrors' approach at securing our nation, and we have not been attacked because individuals have chosen NOT to attack yet. It has NOTHING to do with Homeland Security. Your thoughts?
What is wrong with our homeland security? With terrorism such a hot concern, why is it that our government still treats U.F.O.'s as a big joke. I thought that if you can't identify something in the sky as ours that Homeland Security would be just a little bit worried that it might be hostile if not a direct attack on our nation. Too many reports of stange sky happenings are happening lately, and nobody seems all that concerned on who it belongs to. What if a rouge country developed a new and odd air technology and they were spying on us. Do we just let them and keep sinking our tax dollars on a defense system that obviously doesn't care about what is in our skies, or our defense. To me it seems just a little fishy from a post 9/11 point of view. If they cared about our safety then maybe 9/11 wouldn't have happened. I have family in the military and they say that we keep a good eye on our sky's but they have seen alot of UFO's also and they are told to forget about it. Some security we pay for. I guess we hired a lazy worker.
After seeing how open the border is in the south, where did the money go for homeland security? Who is responsible for homeland protection? This idiot must go like yesterday,and somebody better do something real fast. Didn't we just hear a preaching that if we didn't vote for this administration in the last election we'd be a much less safer nation? Where is the taxpayers money that was for our security? Lets start e-mailing gov.in your areas looking where that cash went, we must start watching these people.
Does the Dept of Homeland Security have law enforcement agents? TV police dramas often feature a scene in which some "suit" walks into a local police precinct station, flashes his or her badge and announces "Homeland Security." Does DHS actually have such LE agents working directly for the dept and not for one of its subordinate agencies?
Which would be better for a Career in Homeland Security afterward, Joining the Marines or the Coast Guard? I dont know which I should join in order to become an FBI agent afterward, or work elsewhere in Homeland Security, the Marines or the Coast Guard. Right Now, I decided on an MP in the Marine Corps. Can anyone else give me an Idea? Thank you! OH and also, can you give me an idea of what I should do in either branch (I heard the MOS for Intelligence looks good for something like homeland security in the Marine Corps). Thanks in Advance for your answers! :D
Is it bad judgement to nominate a crook to head up the Homeland Security Department? Bernard Kerik has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from contractors and failing to report kickback income. As you will remember, in 2004, Bernard Kerik was George Bush's first choice to be the Homeland Security Director. Homeland Security director is a cabinet-level position in charge of some of the most sensitive and important work in the US government. Do you think that Bush used good judgement when tapped this criminal for such an important job? Is it bad judgement to at least make sure the guy is clean before you nominate him? And Kerik withdrew his nomination, he was not asked to step aside, unless Bush is a liar.
How do you feel about Clintons views on Homeland Security? In a speech on December 8, 2004, regarding the passage of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004, Senator Clinton delivered remarks on her approach to homeland security. "[This] legislation calls for dramatic improvements in the security of our nation's transportation infrastructure, including aviation security, air cargo security, and port security. Through this legislation, the security of the Northern Border will also be improved, a goal I have worked toward since 2001. Among many key provisions, the legislation calls for an increase of at least 10,000 border patrol agents from Fiscal Years 2006 through 2010, many of whom will be dedicated specifically to our Northern Border. There will also be an increase of at least 4,000 full-time immigration and customs enforcement officers in the next 5 years [10]." Later in the speech, Clinton described her satisfaction with the way in which IRTPA tackles what she views as the root causes of terrorism by improving education around the world and establishing schools in Muslim countries that will replace the current madrassas. I am also pleased that the legislation addresses the root causes of terrorism in a proactive manner. This is an issue that I have spent a good deal of time on in the past year because I believe so strongly that we are all more secure when children and adults around the world are taught math and science instead of hate. The bill we are voting on today includes authorization for an International Youth Opportunity Fund, which will provide resources to build schools in Muslim countries. The legislation also acknowledges that the U.S. has a vested interest in committing to a long-term, sustainable investment in education around the globe. Some of this language is modeled on legislation that I introduced in September, The Education for All Act of 2004, and I believe it takes us a small step towards eliminating madrassas and replacing them with schools that provide a real education to all children Clinton voted for the USA PATRIOT Act in October 2001 when it was first enacted (as did all but one Senator, Russ Feingold). In December 2005, when a political battle ensued over its renewal, Clinton supported a general filibuster against it, on the grounds that the renewal legislation did not apportion enough money to New York for anti-terrorism efforts. [12] Regarding the December 2005 NSA warrantless surveillance controversy, Clinton stated that she was "troubled" by President Bush's 2002 actions. In a statement, she said: "The balance between the urgent goal of combating terrorism and the safeguarding of our most fundamental constitutional freedoms is not always an easy one to draw. However, they are not incompatible, and unbridled and unchecked executive power is not the answer." Clinton has sponsored and co-sponsored several bills relating to protecting Americans from acts of terrorism [14] [15] as well as providing assistance to the victims of such acts. thank you for such an intelligent response! now lets have some answers with some thought.
Who do you file a complaint with against an Internal Affairs Agent working for Homeland Security? for possible malicious pursual for prosecution. Who do I make my complaint to about the unethical behavior of an Agent for Internal Affairs of the Department of Homeland Security. I suggest that the Agency has targeted me and pursued me by feeding the local prosecutors information that otherwise would have been moot. Due to my prior EEO complaint and the fact that I am a woman, made me their target. Who do I lodge a complaint to and what would you think would be my bestg wording of the complaint. PLEASE....no dumb-ass answers...I am a single parent with three kids to feed and I need good advice from someone intelligent! SO, please have some compassion and only submit your best intelligent response. Thank you!
Would a bachelors degree in Homeland Security really pay off?? Hello all, I am considering pursuing my B.A in Homeland Security/Emergency Preparedness. Does anyone have a degree in this field? What is its value? I think it would be great to land a job with the Department of Defense, but what are the odds even with this degree? If that plan doesn't work out, what could one use this degree for? Can anyone shed some light?
why is new york screaming about less money for homeland security? New York politicians allowed up to one-third of the $20 billion in federal aid awarded to the city in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks to be squandered right under their noses, an analysis by the New York Daily News found last December. But that hasn't stopped some of the same politicians from complaining all weekend about a mere $80 million cut in New York City's federal anti-terrorism budget. Senators Hillary Clinton, Charles Schumer and Rep. Peter King say they're outraged over the new cuts, with Clinton and King teaming up to launch a post-card writing campaign against the Department of Homeland Security. The bipartisan duo sounded a lot less angry six months ago, when the News uncovered evidence that billions in 9/11 cash had been misspent, gone unaccounted for and, in at least one case, was awarded to the Mafia.
Since when is the Dept of Homeland Security dealing with natural disasters? First of all, my heart goes out to those poor people in Indiana who are flooded out, God Bless you. BUT, WHY is the Dept of Homeland Security spokesman talking about the counties designated disaster areas, and what's being done??? Since when does that fall under their jursidiction? I have a real problem with that, isn't FEMA supposed to be handling that task, or is FEMA no longer an agency? Thanks, and JAS, you made me laugh, appreciate that during this miserable heat wave! :)
How should we handle homeland security in regard to terrorism? Should we wait until terrorism occurs before prosecuting terrorists? Given the fact that many terrorists die in their attacks who will we prosecute? If you believe we should go after the money sources, sponsors, or attempt to prevent these attacks before they happen, the question is how will we do this? This question is aimed specifically at people who believe we should not attack terrorism directly and who also resist all efforts at intelligence gathering. I am honestly interested in how you propose to keep the American people safe. Do not give me the if we leave them alone argument because I will only point out how well that worked for Spain. Further, do not tell me our actions are creating more terrorists. True or not, to believe that in effect shows the terrorists that their tactics are working. Remember fear is the objective. This question is about proposals on how to handle homeland security. I do not care how much you might hate the administration or the war.

How big a threat is this to homeland security? How big a threat is this to homeland security? Is it me or are these people doing MORE than there jobs? Hi Everyone, If you are a Pre-Op trans and Fulltime listen up! Starting September 4th 2007, the Social Security office will begin sending lettters out to employers who have employee's whose name does not match their gender marker, so if your stealth at work you won't be for long thanks to Homeland Security. Also the SSA office will not change your gender marker unless you have had SRS. Another fine political mess we're in. For more info click on the link: http://pressesc. com/news/ 1232/30082007/ dhs-plan- throw-americans- out-work\ -comes-under- legal-challenge <http://pressesc. com/news/ 1232/30082007/ dhs-plan- throw-americans- out-wor\ k-comes-under- legal-challenge> The truth of the matter is 75% of the trans community have committed no crime. The 1 in 4 that have are mostly misdemeanors and have been resolved. These people just want to live quiet law abiding with out the threat of coworkers or neighbors attacking them… and yes it dose happen. Of the last 4 trans killings hear in the grater Detroit Ann Arbor Mi S/E corner only one has been prosecuted [He turned himself in] the other are not presently under active investigation. 8.3% of visible transwomen in the United States die by murder, versus 0.0055% in the general population… http://www.petitiononline.com/xgender/ Using a bit of basic math, that translates into… You are OVER 1,500 times more likely to be murdered if you are a man in a dress.
Does Homeland Security directly affect private business? Everyone knows that homeland security places requirements on almost every federal and state agency. But I understand that some industries (such as utilities and airlines) have added requirements. I do not know if there are any compliance requirements for businesses in general, or if there are any other industries. What all industries are being affected and what is required of them? If manufacturing generally affected?
Does anyone here work for Homeland security? I hae a debate coming up and I have to prove that Freedom of privacy and Freedom against self-incrimination are acceptable sacrifices when strengthening National security I really need a professional, maybe a lobbyist?
Was the ACLU correct about the FBI and Homeland Security Powers and the abuse that would follow? Republicans and Democrats alike sternly warned the FBI on Tuesday that it risks losing its broad power to collect telephone, e-mail and financial records to hunt terrorists because of rampant abuses of the authority. The ACLU warned about this 3 years ago. The threats were the latest blow to the embattled Justice Department and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who is already on the defensive and fighting to keep his job over the firings of federal prosecutors. The warnings came as the department's chief watchdog, inspector general Glenn A. Fine, told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI engaged in widespread and serious misuse of its authority to issue national security letters, which resulted in illegally collecting data from Americans and foreigners. The ACLU stated "We told you so". Bush and supporters should feel ashamed.
Do Homeland security funded hospitals malpractice, discriminate, or negate proper service? Homeland security is a federal government agency involved in customs, drug enforcement and port security? What does this have to do with patient care? Does George Bush implement the latter into hospitals so as to capitalize on the poor representation of those afflicted in cases against hospitals. If so does HMO and record manipulation prior to Medicare and Medicaid billing result in questionable deaths? Finally does this play into a favorable way for Congress to prevent insolvency of Social Security funds by saving money and not lives? Homeland security after all was heavily funded after 911 when a disproportianate amount of money from all sectors of public coffers would be spent on a questionable war premised by neoconservatives with ties to the oil industry and hellbent on exploiting other nations for such services.
Why did Rudy Giuliani want this man to be Head of Homeland Security? Rudy Giuliani supported Police Chief Kerik to head Homeland Security. Kerik has just given himself up to authorities in regards to working with the mob. So why did a Presidential Candidate want this man to run Homeland Security? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7087364.stm
