“Secretary Janet Napolitano’s resignation is the perfect time get rid of the Department. Its alleged purpose is to prevent terrorism. But it’s trying to solve a problem that doesn’t really exist. You’re far more likely to die from bathtub drowning, home appliances, or deer accidents than from terrorism. This tells me the DHS is a waste of time. Spending shot up from $20 billion in 2002 to $60 billion this year. Also, the DHS isn’t really about security or terrorism prevention at all: The primary counter-terrorism agencies – FBI, CIA, and NSA – aren’t even part of the DHS. Less than 25% of DHS grants actually go to terrorism prevention.”
