Homeland Security

From 9/11 Encyclopedia:

Almost unknown, the first plans to establish the Homeland Security had already planned and finished between 1998 and 1999, two years before the September 11th attacks.
It was the military scientific think tank ANSER ( http://www.asner.org), who created the Institute of Homeland Security in 1999.

Another directive, dated 13 February 2001, was formally approved for release by the National Security Council staff on 13 March 2001.
"Proliferation, Counterproliferation, and Homeland Defense (by the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs)" 
Source: National Security Presidential Directives - NSPD-1 - Dated: Feb. 13, 2001 http://www.whitehouse.gov/homeland/ 

The Membership of the National Security Council discussed at that time, what authority gives them approval power over Congress and/or Judiciary? 
http://www.whitehouse.gov/nsc/

The full subject of the Homeland Security was: "Organization of the National Security Council System 
This document is the first in a series of National Security Presidential Directives. National Security Presidential Directives shall replace both Presidential Decision Directives
and Presidential Review Directives as an instrument for communicating presidential decisions about the national security policies of the United States." 
Other people or institutions, who had been involved in the Homeland Security before September 11th: Ken Alibek (->), Dr. Ruth David 
(former Director for Science and Technology at the CIA, later at ANSER ->), Bens, Cfr, Embry-Riddle or Johns Hopkins Institute. 

Immediately after the attack on September 11th, 2001 President Bush announced Governor Tom Ridge to head "homeland security". 

Only 8 months later, in May 2002, Tom Ridge lost credibility in the US Congress and they continued to work on a new Homeland Security Bill. 
In the same month, Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a civil-liberties group, announced a lawsuit against the Homeland Security. 
David Sobel, the general counsel for the privacy group, said it's unclear whether Homeland Security is more analogous to the National Security Council 
or to other offices within the White House that have been ruled to fall under the freedom of information law, such as the Office of Management 
and Budget or Office of National Drug Control Policy However the Justice Department argued, that the U.S. Office of Homeland Security is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act because it technically isn't an agency and doesn't exercise substantial authority apart from President Bush. In November 2002 both democrats and republicans supported a new bill on the Institute of Homeland Security. 

Senator Byrd, one of the strongest critics on the Homeland Security Bill on November 19th 2002:
"This legislation is not going to be worth a continental dime if it happens tonight, tomorrow, a month from tomorrow; it is not going to be worth a dime. 

There are people out there working now to secure this country and the people.
They are the same people who are already on the payroll. They are doing their duty right now to secure this country. This is a hoax. This is a hoax.
To tell the American people they are going to be safer when we pass this is to hoax. We ought to tell the people the truth. They are not going to be any safer with that.
That is not the truth. I was one of the first in the Senate to say we need a new Department of Homeland Security.
I meant that. But I didn't mean this particular hoax that this administration is trying to pander off to the American people, telling them this is homeland security. 
That is not homeland security. Mr. President, the Attorney General and Director of Homeland Security have told Americans repeatedly there is an imminent risk
of another terrorist attack. Just within the past day, or few hours, the FBI has put hospitals in the Washington area, Houston, San Francisco, 
and Chicago on notice of a possible terrorist threat. This bill does nothing--not a thing--to make our citizens more secure today or tomorrow. 

This bill does not even go into effect for up to 12 months. It will be 12 months before this goes into effect.
The bill just moves around on an organizational chart. That is what it does--moves around on an organizational chart."
