1.The Boston Marathon bombing was an example of an intelligence community miss, what steps would you say we need to take to prevent this type of mistakes from happening again?
2.Tamerlan Tsarnaev was actually interviewed by FBI and cleared prior. What changes would you recommend that would have stopped this bombing from occuring?
3.In the need for more resources and funding for border security, do you feel that, the current resources are being utilized effectively by agencies directly involved for border security?
4. Drones only fly an average of 94 minutes a day at the border, when they were expected to fly up to 20 hours a day. The reason for this is that they simply don't have the funding to operate them. To me, this seems like drones are extremely inefficient.My question is, do you think that they should just get rid of most, if not all of the drones and spend the funding on other things that may have higher success rates in stopping illegals from crossing the border?
5. In the lesson under border control it was mentioned that most areas of the northern border are inaccessible to traditional patrols. Most of the focus is towards the south, potentially leaving the northern border much more vulnerable than other areas. Do you feel that this is a major area of concern, why or why not? How could would go about fixing this issue?
