3. A comprehensive cost/benefit audit is long past due.

DHS is a perfect example of "big government" gone wrong. Its a sly merger of corporate interests and the public purse, and the pinnacle of "market friendly" solutions. DHS is not about protecting the public, its about protecting profit.

Instead of identifying and taking responsibility for pissing off 1/2 of the world, the government created a gigantic bureaucracy that does not nothing but line pockets of well connected interests, manage and manipulate public perceptions, and strip civil liberties when there is a potential for conflict with the status quo.
