DHS was created in ~2002 and has been a joke ever since. The airports and other borders were secured before that by other agencies. (No, 9/11 does not mean we needed a new agency - credible briefings were ignored by higher-ups and the attackers had powerful backing)

Lots of stuff in our modern post-DHS security era is a total joke. Removing shoes and throwing out liquids over a certain size doesn't protect anyone.

Dude its security theatre. Nobody in DHS is actually protecting shit

That has nothing to do with abusing children and violently attacking citizens. I am absolutely sure I could do my job without that.

Did you read the article I linked?
