    Since when is the government in the business of righting software? How do they 
    reduce software vulnerabilities? I don't understand how DHS can deal with 
    these issues. The most they can do is increase the standards, and institute a 
    reliable mechanism of enforcing the standards. There certainly have been more 
    security auditing and expectations in a post 9/11 government. I don't know 
    what it has bought us, but the government is more acutely aware of the 
    issues.
