When looking at this ever since the United States have been working constantly to help make Homeland Security better The Department of Homeland Security shows that there were no major attacks on American soil recently.

As we grow as a nation and the technology gets better every year we will have the knowledge so that hopefully we can get an edge on the terrorist. The bottom line is that when you look at this the terrorist is always one step
