I'm not sure I follow what you are trying to say. If the TSA was moved back to the Department of Transportation and the Secret Service was moved back to the Department of the Treasury, then you'd simply add two departments to the turf battle war instead of having the one.
NSA is part of the DoD, so let's group them together. Under your plan to eliminate "poorly conceived" bureaucracy, you'd change the potential interactions from this:
FBI-DoD,
FBI-DHS,
DoD-DHS
To this:
FBI-DoD,
FBI-Treasury,
FBI-Transportation,
DoD-Treasury,
DoD-Transportation,
Treasury-Transportation
Wasn't DHS designed exactly to simplify this very issue? As a software engineer looking at a domain model with DHS compared to the old system, it seems like the DHS system has better separation of concerns, better cohesion, and reduced coupling.
- Retric 13y agoThe DoD is to large to be really be considered an organization by it's self. For example Army, Navy, Airorce, NSA and everyone has there own support aircraft with there own support network even though the cost savings of integrating them all under a single organization would be huge.
- bane 13y agoRealistically the smaller than department sized organizations still need to talk to each other. FBI-DoD still looks like FBI-NSA, FBI-Army CIS, FBI-Navy CIS, FBI-Army Intelligence, FBI-DIA, FBI-... etc. etc. and on and on. Within DHS, I'd wager FBI till has to talk to TSA separate from SS.
