Homeland Security. I loved how W handled 9/11, but I didn't understand the need for this department. It's Defense, isn't it?

It is curious. They basically took all Federal law enforcement agencies with the exception of the FBI, e.g. Secret Service, ATF, etc., and stuck them in this new entity.

It is really "Dept. of Federal Law Enforcement" without the FBI (which is still part of the DOJ).
