I do not think homeland security is going to have any new police forces, it is just taking agencies spread out over 5-6 different departments and bring them under 1 Cabinet Level posistion.
Cal, you should are paranoid, I do not think after the terrorist threat is gone ( will it ever be gone?), that they will turn it to go after liberals, pornographers, homosexuals, etc....

Yes, the terrorist threat is gone.
Why do we need a NEW agency to spy on the citizens?
Of course if we plan on a good old fashion witch hunt, like the McCarthy era...maybe we need Homeland Security to make the case against whoever it is we are going to persecute.
It has happened before, and it can happen again. Just because you look at that possibility and fight against it does not make you paranoid.
