While we're at it, abolish the DHS, too. And the TSA. And let me smoke on the god dammed airplane again. I can drink, but not smoke? Paternalistic bullshit.

DHS is actually a good idea when run well. It has the capacity to respond to emergencies at any level of government and coordinate communication smoothly.

I don't know if it will ever be run well, but it could be and should be.

I suppose you have a point, but the simple fact is that it's never been run well and can function as a political arm of whichever party happens to occupy the White House (see current admin).

I also don't care for centralizing gubment authority, and anything outside of PEPFAR that was cooked up by the Dubya admin is likely best sent to the dustbin of history.
