DHS - U.S. Department of Homeland Security

A district court had halted two Homeland Security policies after they were challenged by Florida.

Countries like Russia and China are becoming “more assertive and sophisticated in their cyber operations.

Last week, a small drone flew over the walls of a prison, dropping small packages of drugs and tobacco in the middle of a facility in Ohio, sparking a brawl in the courtyard as inmates fought one another for the prized possessions.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that the automatic budget cuts, which would see $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts in the first year, would force cuts across all areas of her department and set it back from further development.

President Obama nominated former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) as secretary of defense and John Brennan, counter terrorism specialist, as director of the CIA on Monday, Jan. 7.

A single electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack could affect the entire United States. Power would go out, financial infrastructure would be lost, electronics would be fried. Cars, trains, and airplanes would be useless hunks of metal. If energy, pumps, and transportation were knocked out, food and water would become a dwindling commodity.

There is a rumor making rounds that the Obama administration is drafting an executive order to guard national networks against cyber-attacks.
