	Homeland Security Advisory System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The decision to publicly announce threat conditions is made case-by-case by the Secretary of Homeland Security in consultation with the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security.
		Typical actions include increasing police and other security presence at landmarks and other high-profile targets, more closely monitoring international borders and other points of entry, ensuring that emergency response personnel are ready, and, in some cases, deploying members of the National Guard to assist local law enforcement on security details.
		Homeland Security secured the Prudential Financial Building in Newark, New Jersey in August 2004 following the discovery of evidence of a terrorist threat to it.

	CorpWatch : Selling Out Security
		HSAC should not institutionalize this kind of conflict of interest by relying on representatives of industries that have such a clear financial stake in homeland security decisions.
		Because the job of protecting the railroad system falls not to federal or state law enforcement, but to the rail companies and their security employees, his presence on the council is a prime opportunity to push the burden of increased security upon the taxpayers instead of the companies.
		HSAC needs to include members who can be critical of the status quo and can ensure that the council engages in responsible decision-making.

	Byrd Amendment to Make Dept of Homeland Security Subject to FACA
		This volunteering by these companies of their CEOs and board members to serve on the advisory council may well be a selfless act of patriotism, but that does not stop them from profiting from the contracts and grants awarded by the Department.
		With a $40 billion homeland security budget and the expectation that the Federal Government will spend hundreds of billions of dollars in the coming years on homeland defenses, corporate America is salivating over the money that is to be made from the grants and contracts being doled out by the Homeland Security Department.

		Thus, it is a matter of concern that Dow Chemical Company's Business Group President Kathleen M. Bader is on the council, considering that the industry she represents actively lobbied against this bill, and any other legislation designed to protect the millions of residents living near the 110 chemical plants across the country.
		As you mentioned, a diverse council is necessary to "provide recommendations that will help DHS more effectively integrate our efforts to make the homeland more secure." However, there is currently no representation from groups that raise concerns about the inadequacy of homeland security despite the wealth of resources available.
		For instance, Warren Rudman, Gary Hart and Richard A. Clarke at The Council on Foreign Relations have produced reports on Homeland Security vulnerabilities and inadequately prepared emergency responders, and their expertise could prove to be a valuable asset to HSAC.
