	United States Department of Homeland Security - Encyclopedia.com
		United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), executive department of the federal government charged with protecting the security of the American homeland as its main responsibility.
		(Among the agencies with functions relating to homeland security that were not included in DHS were the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency, and National Security Agency.) The creation of DHS involved the largest restructuring of the executive branch of the federal government since the Defense Dept. was established (1947-49).
		Foundations of the Garrison State: far from being a reaction to 9-11, the proposed Department of Homeland Security is based on an elitist blueprint finished and on the President's desk before Black Tuesday.
