It's not the first time Omaha would receive a good part of the money. What I wasn't sure about, was who was getting the contracts. Last night, I started to search for companies with ties to the DHS. Just as I suspected, IT business contracts have increased in the last few years. A couple of the companies owned by Indian brothers have satellite locations in some of the cities that have seen substantial funding.
It made me wonder, Are these contracts for security or domestic spying? The oldest brother has been doing security work for the U.S. since 82'. Weren't we supposed to be afraid of India having nuclear technology? Yet we were giving some of their citizens security clearance to oversee our most sensitive information.
Since the Reagan administration we have been told to fear a variety of people and countries, which was used to justify spending more on defense contracts, only to find out later, our government had been doing business with them all along.
I suggest taking a look at companies like S4, Inc., as well as googling specific cities that have received large windfalls from the DHS. It should give everyone an idea of what the intentions of the government really are.
The Brooklyn Bridge is probably safe, the internet as we know it, I am not so sure about.
