Terror Recommendations
# 16 The Department of Homeland Security, properly supported by the Congress, should complete, as quickly as possible, a biometric entry-exit screening system, including a single system for speeding qualified travelers. It should be integrated with the system that provides benefits to foreigners seeking to stay in the United States.
This particular recommendation has failed miserably since the time of its suggestion by the 9/11 commission. Immigration into the United States goes largely unchecked, much less checked by any type of biometric screening system. Although this appears to be a failure of massive proportion, it does not seem to be too impactful as history has proven us.
While the borders of the United States are too wide and expansive too have any real deterrent to keep people out, a biometric entry system would not have much good if these entry points were monitored. The development of big data, and the massiveness that this technology has afforded criminal justice profession, has created new problems of managing this data. Simply having biological information on people leaving and entering the borders does not, in most cases provide any sort of actionable intelligence, and as a result trillions of bytes of data are being uselessly collected and stored.
If this system was designed to give preference...
Illegal immigration is the best, and most expedient method of entering this country as the last decades have shown us.
#25 Homeland security assistance should be based strictly on an assessment of risks and vulnerabilities. Now, in 2004, Washington, D.C., and New York City are certainly at the top of any such list. We understand the contention that every state and city needs to have some minimum infrastructure for emergency response. But federal homeland security assistance should not remain a program for general revenue sharing. It should supplement state and local resources based on the risks or vulnerabilities that merit additional support. Congress should not use this money as a pork barrel.
When the recommendation about keeping the financial aspects of distributing resources to those areas where they are most needed has shown some relative success since the time of the 9/11 Commission's recommendations. Both New York City and Washington D.C. continue to be hotbeds of potential terrorist action and many resources have been dedicated to this area.
While some of the qualities of this recommendation have been aligned with policy and practice, most of this tenet's principle's have been ignored and disregarded as important…

According to Harlan (2004), "Sample retention is problematic not only because of these individuals' innocence, but also because of the resulting availability of sensitive genetic information and the lack of legislative and jurisprudential protections guarding release of the information" (p. 179). This point is also made by Beecher-Monas and Garcia-Rill (2006), who caution that modern DNA identification techniques can be used to extrapolate far more than just an individual's

9/11 survivors search for normalcy" by Anemona Hartocollis, survivors of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 still fight psychological and physical demons, long after the rest of the world has attained a state of 'normalcy' and the attacks are no longer a foreground concern in the media. Lauren Manning, a former employee of Cantor Fitzgerald, can no longer lead a normal life and counts herself lucky to be alive after
Mayblum's language of teamwork is simple and straightforward in its diction. But Robert Stone's essay advances a far more complex issue, as he attempts to deal with the psychological impact of the crisis. Stone's thesis is the unreality of the horror, which was so shocking that it was "experienced" as "something fictive, because the mindset of the suicide bombers is so alien to our culture. "We saw in the shocking
Issues Faced by Muslims Since 9/11 Issues that Muslims have faced in the United States since 9/11 have been an increased antagonism in the mainstream media against Islam and a new rise of Islamaphobia from many corners of society. Increased levels of violence against Muslims and increased scrutiny from security agencies at the federal level—including by Homeland Security, the NSA, and the FBI—towards Muslims has also been an issue faced by
