Ask the
Department of Homeland
Security
Q: How
is vital information
gathered by highly
trained investigators in
my government to protect
me from harm?
- Amy G., Sheboygan,
Wisconsin
A: Dear
Amy: Many ways. Recently,
officials with the FBI's
Joint Terrorism Task
Force questioned Miguel
Salas, a history
professor at Pomona
College, asking him if
there was a Venezuelan
consulate in Los Angeles.
We can't tell you the
answer, of course. By the
way Amy, what is your
last name?
Q: How's
that new computer system
coming along at the FBI?
- Doug A., San
Francisco, California
A: Dear
Doug: As you may know,
the first system, the
Virtual Case File, was
scrapped because we could
never get it to work,
after spending $170
million on it. But we're
spending $500 million on
the new Sentinel system,
which should be ready by
2010, and the only
problem with it is that
we'll be unable to share
information with other
intelligence services.
What's your last name,
Doug? |
