What is the government doing for Homeland Security?
             Recently President Bush announced a bill for The Department of Homeland
             Security. The new Department is the consolidation of agencies such as The Coast Guard, The Immigration and Naturalization Services, The Transportation Security Agency and many others. The only problem facing the new bill is labor issues. If they pass the bill it can be in affect within thirty days of being passed.

The functions would include boarder and transportation security, emergency and disaster preparedness, the development of countermeasures for nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare, and the storage and analysis if potential threats, to be supplied by the FBI, CIA, NSA, and other government agencies. In doing so this would prepare us for
