The National Guard falls under the Department of Defense. The main mission of the National Guard is to protect the country in times of crisis. This has historically meant humanitarian missions during and after disasters like tornados, hurricanes and floods. Additionally, the National Guard is charged with helping to fight the nation's wars when active duty armed forces need help or reinforcement.\n\nThe Department of Homeland Security (which is departmentally equal to the Department of Defense - both have Secretaries sitting on the President's cabinet) was born out of 9/11. DHS's primary charge is to protect the nation from terrorism. Many, many agencies were brought under the umbrella of Homeland Security so information could be shared and pieced together more easily. This way, it is hoped, it will be easier to prevent terrorist attacks against the nation.\n\nI happen to be a proud employee of both Departments!  :)

it's the coast guard, which is now part of the department of homeland security, along with FEMA, US customs, the TSA, the secret service, and immigration.\n\nhttp://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/interapp/editorial/editorial_0515.xml\n\nEDIT:  misty_marsh, the coast guard was moved from DOT to the DHS when it was formed after 9/11.

Not in my opinion.  I mean, come on, if you're a terrorist, you've got to know that financial transactions are already being monitored.  How secret could this really have been?  I read the NYT article and wasn't even remotely surprised  - actually I had to admit I was kind of impressed by the scope of the program (i.e., overseas wire transactions) and how long it had been going on.  It seems to be pretty effective, and there appear to be safeguards in place to prevent abuses in terms of privacy protection.  Plus it's not like they're doing the wiretap thing where they're sifting a lot of data indiscriminately - in this case it seems like the intelligence agencies are pinpointing what they're looking for before they do their data mining.\n\nAnd the NYT has known about this for some time.  The editor-in-chief was clear about his motives, to inform the public and let us make our own decisions about what's appropriate.  Ain't that kinda what a democracy is about?\n\nAgain, as far as weakening our ability to fight terrorism, well, I think it's completely naive to believe that terrorists aren't already aware of the monitoring programs set up to investigate potential \nterrorist activity.  The really smart ones have already figured out ways around it - financial disguises, as it were - and they've doubtless got brilliant (if misguided) minds on their payroll to launder the money.\n\nSo the program is probably weeding out the idiots, and teaching us more about how money is transferred.  I seriously doubt that the exposure of the program itself (which you may have noticed was NOT specific in terms of logistics, identities, and procedures) will have any effect at all on our ability to prevent and prosecute terrorist activities.\n\nIf someone can present a cogent, objective, polite argument as to how exactly this article threatens national security, by all means please share it.

Nobody can know for sure unless they're privy to that classified information.  However, I don't think it would be possible for them to run a server so huge that it can keep track of everybody's conversations like that.  It's possible that they only do this for people who are already under suspicion.  There could be various reasons why someone could make the "suspicion list," though, such as making a phone call to a certain country.

Usually they give you a security question when you first sign up.\nTry and answer that.

The Department of Homeland Security's mission is to prevent, deter, protect against, mitigate and respond to terrorist attacks and other threats to the Nation.  This includes operations of immigration, border control, customs, transportation security, infrastructure protection, intelligence gathering and distribution, emergency preparedness and response and development of science and technology to support these things.

It's a list of question that you added to your watch list, so you can keep a eye on them or go back to them at anytime if you don't answer it.

Of course.  That is what has made me laugh about this wire tapping NSA situation.  We have been watched since the government realized years and years ago they can't trust the american people. Every thing you do is recorded and stored somewhere.  We are being watched and we will always be watched.

No they aren't.  In fact they are monitored for content just like how they monitor the comps for pages surfed.  Maybe yall should switch to your home emails.
