摘要:Immigration, border control, Andrew Speaker, Version 2 of the National Strategy for Homeland Security, the Virginia Tech shootings, the I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse, disaster capitalism, the “new” FEMA, the Homeland Security threat assessment, torture, fusion centers, cyber attacks: what was your top homeland security-related issue in 2007? In “Changing Homeland Security,” Christopher Bellavita asked homeland security professionals to identify what they considered to be last year’s top issue and to briefly describe why. The result highlights observations about the scope and content of homeland security, intelligence, ethics and trust, public health, the Department of Homeland Security, and a variety of other topics and trends. The article also includes a few predictions about what to look for in 2008. Readers are invited to contribute their own candidate for 2007’s most significant homeland security issue.
