Homeland Security Show | Episode 26

What is Happening to Homeland Security? Knives on Planes, Guns in Schools, and Security Furloughs?

As President of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association [https://www.fleoa.org/] and Ground Zero first responder, Jon Adler joined the program to discuss what being a major stakeholder in the law enforcement community means– and what it does not mean– in an era where homeland security seems to be spinning in unexpected and unhelpful directions.

Key issues:

• How does allowing knives bigger than the boxcutters the 9/11 terrorists used to slit throats of passengers make us safer?
• How does releasing illegal aliens being held for violent crime make us safer?
• How does languishing legislation on guns make us safer when the penalties for violating gun laws themselves are light?
• Can we afford to furlough federal law enforcement officers in the midst of continually evolving threats?
