Serving Homeland Security

Following are responses to an FCW.com poll question that asked,
"Given an opportunity, would you work for the Homeland Security
Department?"
I think Homeland Security is overdue. I would be willing to work there,
but the location would be paramount in my decision. In my opinion, the
one place it doesn't need to be is Washington, D.C.

I would consider working for Homeland Security for two reasons. One, I
believe it is an important and necessary effort. Two, as an insider, I
would be able to know just exactly how much information will be collected
on citizens, and to what use it would be put.
