Here in New York, right after 9/11, the police got millions to spy on ordinary citizens, but the fire department was so underfunded that many station houses were shut down and firemen laid off. Until Hillary stepped up to the plate, the fire department and police still did not have walky -alkies that could communicate with each other.
More funds were given to states that were not obvious targets than the states with clear needs. When real distaters have struck, such as Katrina, it has been clear that homeland security achieves nothing by way of securing the homeland.
Homeland security, from the outset has been a an obvious nest of corruption, pork and bad priorities. Tell us what you know of how funds were spent in your state.
