To those of us who dwell within the adjacent realm condensed of the attributes of sobriety and paralleled "realism" must readily admit that our current Department of Homeland Security is indeed operation at a level of apparent "deficit" which could indeed prove to be deprimental to our overall safety and well being. Why should we the American people feel threatened on our own soil merely because our defense network has proven to be as ineffective as it is senseless leaving far too many gaps wide open. Why you ask? well first of all, it lacks the dynamics of an thorough application condensed of a full scale eclectic approach in order to secure our safety upon the air,land and sea. traveling venues within the trans-continental USA and beyond. And even more assuredly, the previous plan does very little to involve the citizens in the process.:Such an ideological possibility could prove to be the best preventive measure yet. It is just as simple as each of the following:
a. Each state must have accessibility to the National as well International database categorizing potential and intentional individuals who have a history of reviling behavior and undesirable social affiliations.
b. A better phase of connectivity between the National as well as state as well as local Homeland security operatives must become a part of our daily regimen. Why hasn't this effective network been established yet?
c. Citizen Alliance for Homeland Security (CAFHS) needs to become a constant in each and every state and be respected as a subcommittee from the State/Local Department of Homeland Security. This means that another counter-terrorism measure has been designed to beef up the arsenal to deter terrorism....These civic leaders must be trained and vigilant to react and to report to their local law enforcement agency whenever the occasion is needful. These individuals need to become both the eyes and the ears of our wellbeing.
d. Terrorism response hotlines should be structured and made available upon every continent of the world then filter into the capital so that crucial information can received beforehand. This too can deter the overall possibility of a catastrophy.
To add in another crucial element to this already vehement equation, I would highly recommend that the USA place as much security emphasis upon it's land and sea travelling venues as well. Why you ask? It is even easier for these twisted and demented individuals to board the trans-continental bus services (such as Greyhound or Indian Trails) or either monorail system (Amtrak, Unitrak) with a full metal jacket readily strapped to be crapped and take as many lives by detenating this exposive device while taking it's glide through the Ozarks or the Appalachains. Not only would such an incident perhaps kills every passenger on board, it would wreak havoc upon the residents who could receive propensity of injuries as well.. Even more sinister, what about the subway stations? Primarily the New York locale....What perhaps another Ground Zero 2010 (reverse 2001)? The iniquities are literally endless.
Meanwhile, think about the sea travel. A Luxury Liner could literally become a sunken treasure. Especially if such a twisted mind decided to light up the night all but to prove himself as being worthy of 1000 virgins and a hero's reward.
Another far fetched idea....We need to improve our network on Foreign Relations by assigning specialized task committees that can help address issues reflective of adjacent poverty, inadequate housing, education and civil rights. Remember knowledge and human compassion is one of the most powerful elixirs in detering violence in any case.
These things need to be taken under careful considerationlest we become the victims of our own ignorace and voluntary neglect.
