Missing the Target: A flawed plan to protect the homeland
Throughout its counties, California officials deal with the misappropriation of homeland security funding.

The money, approved by Congress to help officials better prepare for potential terrorist attacks, was distributed to the states following Sept. 11. "The federal government gave money to states ito parcel out in an attempt to get everyone talking about how to prepare for another terror attack. But that level of planning isn't happening."
