This morning, with Tim Sparapani of our Washington Legislative Office and our frenemies at the Heritage Foundation. They discussed ways that the Department of Homeland Security under the Obama administration could endeavor to do better by the country. First, Tim suggested making the watchlists, you know, work:

Any terrorist worth his or her salt can go out and get a fake ID in about 20 minutes, or they can show up under their own name if they're not a name of somebody that we've been monitoring abroad[…] And there are lots of people, unfortunately, who have been willing to be recruited whom we would never know about until the moment they actually commit an attack.

So while the TSA is busy stopping all the , potential terrorists might be slipping by.

Now, Heritage's take:

…[The Heritage Foundation] says the government's multi-billion dollar investment in what's often referred to as "guns, guards and gates" is the wrong way to go — that it's futile to try to protect everything in a country that has a seemingly endless number of potential targets.

We couldn't agree more, Heritage!
