I think DHS has jumped the shark....
I would love to see the GOP ask for Congressional investigations and testimony times on this very issue.
Will DHS become the civilian Gestapo that Obama said he wants (he said he wants a civilian military, equally trained and armed like the real military)?
IIRC, it was the RATS that wanted a DHS, and to Federalize the airport security as TSA.
Maybe they are not jumping the shark by accident, but are laying groundwork to be like BATF and others.
