DHS continues to directly and indirectly subsidize the IT industry through its incompetence. It would be interesting to document total IT expenditures by DHS since March 1, 2003 when its doors opened. By my informal estimate, DHS has spent over $22B on IT since opening its doors. That number may seem out of wack but include in it the expenditures of little programs like the NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) that GAO has found to be totally mismanaged by the insurance industry.

Needless-to-say cyber security has been totally underfunded, under-researched and mismanaged by DHS. Continued Comment–slip of the trigger.
