This is  certainly the question on the minds of many Americans today.* It is also one  that Jamie McIntyre, veteran journalist and blogger for Military.com, had the  opportunity to ask of Rand Beers, Under Secretary for  National Protection and Programs Directorate from DHS, at a Heritage Foundation  National Security Bloggers Luncheon.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Beers\u0092 response  can be seen here at &lt;atitle=&quot;http:\/\/www.lineofdeparture.com\/&quot; href=&quot;http:\/\/www.lineofdeparture.com\/&quot;&gt;LineOfDeparture.com thanks to a video  posted by Jamie on his blog.
