How about relieving DHS of *all* of its roles? It's been a disaster since day one.

Yes, you hit the nail firmly on the head. It's a touchy subject with airline security but we could ditch them in the Cybersecurity sector surely?

Hou have said inter alia; re: "we could ditch them in the Cybersecurity sector surely?"

Well, how about you (being the U. S. Government...) telling us how you are expected to perform at an international event (cyber warfare games) without the "uses" of certain members of your body (Department of Naval Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement....)???

DHS is too large, too bureaucratic, and was led by whom many consider an incompetent Director in Chertoff and is now led by whom most consider an incompetent in Napolitano. It needs to be broken up and please put someone capable of protecting this country in the role.

Re: "[... "Protecting cyberspace requires strong vision and leadership and will require changes in policy, technology, education, and perhaps law," Hathaway said. "Achieving this vision requires leadership and commitment from the highest levels of government, industry, and civil society."...]"

Well, what should expected since according to the following historical text:-

"And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone. And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel. When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went. And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had. As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel"

So, to simply put it... this approach according to this report appears to be just like "that Ezekiel's Vision of the "wheels within wheels" was a vision of the entire Bible in which the Old and and New Testaments (the respective U.S. Government Agencies, Laws...) are inextricably interwoven".

Cool!

This should have read: "Well, what should (be) expected...." Thank you.

Just more regulations that our government will continue to abuse until the people stand up and take our country back.
