I always felt that the name "Homeland Security" reeks of Nazi Germany.
"Homeland" is not a term we Americans use much, and it feels wrong.
"Internal Security" sounds too Russian. They just need to retask the IRS.
They've already got all the spies, informants, SWAT teams and databases they
need to do the job, right?

atomic bomb
(anybody remember what happened in Texas City?) PLUS the
flaming magnesium fell for miles outside the blast area and created
thousands of fires that combine to form a fire storm. (Remember Toyko in
early 1945? The fire storms killed more people than both of the atomic
bombs.)
You guys had better be careful discussing all these terror attack
scenarios in public. Pretty soon we'll have Asscroft breathing down our
necks.
Don't forget Reichsmarschall Rumsfeld.
