7. DHS was created to deal with the problem of FBI and CIA not sharing information

about the "9/11" suspects. So, if DHS didn't have the information from the FBI then that raises a question about DHS's very existence. Either the FBI and CIA are not sharing the information with DHS or they are giving DHS the info but as you say the DHS doesn't have a proper data base to sort and flag those who might be potential problems.

DHS might be an agency that isn't any more effective than what we had before "9/11."
Hope there's an investigation of this to find what went wrong because saying they have to many names they can't possible sort out who could warrant further scrutiny seems kind of lame since it's their job to have a system that sorts and flags.

Maybe you should give them a call. We taxpayers are paying for these agencies and putting up with many aggravations and losses to our personal "freedom" so that they can prevent these incidents. Not that every single even can be stopped, but these two and their parents were traveling back and forth and with the FBI warning about them it would seem that there was enough information there for them to be more closely watched before an event as large and publicized as Boston Marathon.
