New Orleans and Homeland Security
In my review of news this morning I read that New Orleans was having problems communicating between all the relief workers. One of the primary issues identified after 9/11 was the need to improve communication for city services throughout the country. It was supposed to be an extremely high priority for the new Department of Homeland Security to address the problem. New Orleans is one of the biggest ports in the country and home to some of our biggest oil refineries. Many would consider it a prime target for terrorism. Now we learn that Homeland Security has failed to solve one of its highest priorities in the 4 years since the attack. We are talking about communication equipment here, nothing particularly complex or expensive. This is strickly my opinion, but someone has really dropped the ball here. Think they will be fired? That was a joke.
