Establishing a Department of Homeland Security

Abstract: A 6 page paper assessing some of the issues complicating creation of a federal department that can increase security in America without limiting the individual freedom and liberty on which the country was founded. All of the federal government has been long overdue for the same kinds of structural reorganization that has been occurring in business for nearly a generation. A better approach to establishing a Department of Homeland Security might be to give such a department time-limited license for existence, allowing it to take the steps necessary to increase the security of our free and open society, but making its secondary mission that of overseeing reorganization of the entire federal government. Such an undertaking would take years in corporate time; in government time it would take even longer. It is an approach to increasing security without further limiting individual freedom, however, and is well worth considering for long-range planning. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
