The Department of Homeland Security is the greatest boondoggle in recent American history. Think up something plausible that scares people and they're all over it. It doesn't have to work, necessarily. Get the money up front for development. Go through several design revisions. Keep it in testing. Wait for them to change the requirements. Repeat.
This is a mighty big udder. During the Civil War President Lincoln was confronted with hordes of office seekers and had just so many offices available, "There are too many pigs for the tits." There are plenty of tits when you don't have to really pay for anything. Later generations will take care of it. Or Iraqi oil money.
At the airport we see the "yellow jackets" at the curb, chasing away cars. Inside we see the reason there are so many Help Wanted signs at the mall. Look at the people wearing TSA uniforms. Do you feel safer?
