P.S. There's actual talk in Washington about creating a U.S.
version of MI-5. Homeland Security Agency.

Pray educate me on what the difference is between the Department of Homeland
Security and the hypothetical Homeland Security Agency.

Sure.

One is charged with security dealing with terrorism and external
threats. The other is a state police that covers everything
and overrides local authority.

Basically it would render the FBI moot and give the new agency
internal CIA-like powers. Truly nasty stuff.
