They said it would keep us safe. The monster hatched in November 2002. It was named the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). An appetite for control and conquest was in its DNA. Its early influences, in the years after 9\/11, were paranoia and vengeance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DHS is the only new department the United States has spawned in this century. With its birth, issues that were previously seen as separate-immigration control, policing, and counter-terrorism--were brought into a single, sprawling entity. Twenty-two preexisting agencies were absorbed into what became the nation's third largest government department. Today it has a budget of over $100 billion and employs a quarter of a million people. Every danger is now conceived of as a threat to \"homeland security,\" and as the 9\/11 Commission said in 2003, \"the American homeland is the planet.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arun Kundnani, Mizue Aizeki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945335262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945335266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Common Notions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.50w x 0.11d","brand":"Arun Kundnani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46571263656191,"sku":"9781945335266","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddae7830-5b98-4566-af64-6664584e03c6.jpg?v=1738807717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homeland-security-arun-kundnani-9781945335266","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
