Who better to trust than someone who has learned lessons the hard way? I do hope her hiring practices and attention to security as a start has improved.

under our existing systems. Lack of surveillance was not the cause of tragedy in either instance.

December of 2001! I have a very common name and I have been harassed, guns pulled on me in airports, delayed, missed flights etc., all because, at least according to the FBI, a terrorist from South Yeman used my very common name as an alias.

They really do not purge the list so the can have automatic probable cause to give many people extra attention, screening surveillance, and searches.

DHS was setup after 911 to coordinate all departments and create better coordinated effort between various organizations. They receive close to $100 billion a year in funding.

This is what we are voting for in November.
Actually, I'm not voting for Hillary as much as I'm voting against Trump.

Corporatist DINO!

I voted for Bernie.

But I'm not an idiot.

If Democrats don't capture the White House good luck with TRump.

Every time I see the body scanners at airports, I (sadly) think of Michael Chertoff, who apparently owns one of the manufacturers of said items.

Rig then game the system.

Anything but Bernie Sanders.
