Homeland Security
So, after several months of "is he just another advisor" or "is he a cabinet-level position" (I could have sworn Bush called it that when he created the job and gave it to Tom Ridge), the proposal is now officially On The Table: To create a real, cabinet-level Secretary of Homeland Security, and consolidate every related government agency under that jurisdiction.

It's about damned time.

However, there is one more modification I might suggest: Instead of the unnecessarily-draconian "Homeland Security", call it the Department of Defense. The existing DoD is better described under its previous name, the Department of War.

Ah, well, it won't happen. It would be a difficult sell, public-relations-wise, and it would require an additional small fortune to be spent replacing letterheads and envelopes.
