Week 3 Project: Homeland Security Recommendations II

For this assignment, you will reflect on the 9/11 attack and its influence on the homeland security function. Continuing with the scenario introduced in the Week 2 Project, assume that your Senate-candidate client intends to make homeland security a focus of his efforts and has commissioned a report to highlight key areas of need.

Prepare a report in Microsoft Word that covers the following points:

• Explain the influence of faulty intelligence sharing on the 9/11 attack. Compare and contrast law enforcement information sharing before 9/11 and today.
• Describe and evaluate the value of Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Select one particular JTTF to serve as an example.
• Describe the individual components of the selected JTTF and provide an example of a successful operation.
• Analyze the threats posed to U.S. security by illegal immigration and the challenges of border protection. Specify the several ways that insecure borders may present a threat to security, keeping in mind that terrorism may only be part of the overall picture.
