The Department of Homeland Security is now in its fourth year of existence. as Senator GREGG has explained. While many of its legacy agencies. such as the Coast Guard. Customs and Border Protection. and the Secret Service. continue to operate effectively. the Department itself certainly has become the gang that cant shoot straight. Nearly 5 years after 9/11. key issues. such as fixing FEMA. such as establishing chemical security standards. such as inspecting cargo on commercial aircraft and inspecting air passengers for explosives. such as securing our ports and making sure that State and local governments have effective mass evacuation plans. are all languishing at the Department. The list of issues that are festering at the Department goes on and on. and these problems are not merely bureaucratic hassles.
