Disband DHS

DCI would be the DCI - a professional, not a politician

Central Intelligence Agency would be central - all intel would flow through there. Set it back up like the old OSS

Set up a language/cultural school for Spec Ops, CIA, etc. ONE

Beef up the ops side of CIA and allow lateral transfers from Spec Ops again. However soldiers would continue to get promoted etc.

No more FBI overseas - INS, FBI, ATF all report to the same guy, probably the AG. The legats should be imbedded in major police departments. NYC, LA, Chicago - which would have input in agent eval forms.

All visas from target countries have to be cleared though the CIA

CIA publish the FTO list, not State

State Dept completely refocused. No more homesteading. All State intell and CT personnel moved to CIA

Allow racial profiling from target countries

Put everyone on the same comms system - like an Amber alert type deal. As long as they have a clearance, which they should all have.

Regionally focus task organized teams for combined counter-terrorism teams. Have the ME desk in one place, the LATAM desk in another. probably co-located with the military command for that area.

Anybody doesn't cooperate with his counter-part - he goes to baggage screener the desk day.

Make everybody working in CT sign an oath of enlistment, not a labor contract.

Change the standards - no more Ivy League diploma requirements for example.

At least every other assignment is overseas in a crap area. Find out who really wants to be there.

Make agents go through military training and vice versa.

Allow groups to train together to build relationships.

Make the military intel side one service. No more "each service has its own deal". The Intelligence Force.

Make the Coast Guard part of the Navy.

Consolidate, consolidate, consolidate. There are too many services, too many layers, too many organizations and too many bosses.
