U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Border Security

Lost laptops remain a leading cause of data breaches threatening company data, consumer privacy, and even government information. 12,000 laptops are lost at US airports each week. We have developed a platform that is proven to increase recovery rates of lost valuables by 10X. We are now optimizing that platform to build a nation-wide fully integrated network of airport lost & found services. This will enable users... more »

This DHS IdeaScale page had, until today 4/3/20). a complete section on ideas to fight Covid-19. It is now gone, with all of the ideas that people had submitted. Can you believe it? AT A TIME LIKE THIS?

Please vote this up, MAYBE it will wake someone up and get them to restore the Covid-19 section and all the ideas that were in it.

My suggestion: stop separating children from parents at the US/Mexico border. I'm referring to illegal immigrants and asylum seekers, not unaccompanied minors. I suggest that aid organizations, NGOs and diplomatic personnel located in Mexico, Central America and South America inform residents that the United States is enforcing this policy.

To get the community involved in protecting critical infrastructure such as cell towers, electrical power stations, power plants, etc by education and awareness. Similar to neighborhood watch, have informed and educated persons to be eyes and ears for suspicious activities and or potential terrorist acts. In the past there have been incidents of persons hostile to America loosening bolts on cell phone towers and starting... more »

The two thousand mile wall of solar panels on the Mexican border would generate enough hydrogen to supply the total energy requirements of the USA. The solar panel array could be constructed to form a wall on the border that would ensure total border security.Hydrogen burning fuel cells could power every vehicle and power plant that currently burns fossil fuels, therefore making our total energy consumption solar powered.... more »

In 1967 the Federal Government purchased hundreds of twin engine bulletproof observation aircraft from Cessna and used them for years in Vietnam. These high wing aircraft used two in-line engines (front and back) providing unparalleled visibility and could operate at both low and high speeds allowing them to quickly transition to an area and loiter over the target for hours. If the government still has any of these... more »

PROBLEM:
I cannot believe our whole country is being disrupted due to politicians putting illegal aliens before U.S. citizens. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I AM APOLITICAL!!! The non-rational tribalism and disruptive grandstanding has to end, it is damaging our government, our security, and our economy. Foreign adversaries love it, these issues are disrupting normal businesses, supply chains and our overall society. It damages... more »

I went for my interview to receive my Global ID. A video is shown when waiting to see the agent. I, a white 71-year-old woman, was offended that a white blond middle-aged woman demonstrates the proper entry procedure who easily enters. The example for demonstrating how someone can be rejected, receiving a receipt with a big X across is is a black woman. I suggest you revise this few-minute video showing a minority... more »

How quickly can this lease be canceled since weapons of mass destruction in the guise of shipping containers can come through this gaping hole in our security?!?

The owner of the port was in on Saddam Hussein's WMDs? A designated enemy combatant?

What steps can we take... more »

Instead of fighting with Mexico over funding the border security (including the wall), why not work together to solve one of the biggest root causes of illegal immigration (drug cartels and poor/dangerous living condition in Central America). The USA and Mexico could form a joint police/military alliance to go after the drug cartels. The two countries can split all proceeds from confiscated assets 50/50. Mexico could... more »

Here are some easily implemented steps- that shouldn't have to involve Congress passing a law (good luck on that!)- to substantially reduce the number of applicants for asylum

1. No longer accept requests for asylum at the U.S. border. Shift the responsibilities to our embassies in the various countries from which the people are coming.

2. When a person with children requests asylum at an embassy, take a DNA swab... more »

When mafias and cartels take over US cities controlling law enforcement with bribery and threats. Would this be considered terrorism? When they take control of million dollar businesses trafficking the companies for money under threat. They use tactics such as gangstalking to take control of people. How long does it take to stop these crimes, this is terrorisom taking control of cities. They use they’re money and power... more »

Exempt family members without the age and marital status status criteria. It is easy to document at border control with official paperwork, and it allow families to be reunited with their loved ones. Quarantine and testing could be imposed.

Denmark, Norway and Austria are successfully putting these loosen measures it in place in a safe matter, so I believe that the US could be just as successful.

The gentleman from Vermont might not have been entirely out of line today when he explained walls are "last century's technology". So use drones across the ~1800 miles of needed border. Specifically, an array of response drones could be enormously beneficial to CBP, ICE, and DHS in general. Drones can be programmed to automatically recharge on environmentally sound seismic pylons (detection of underground digging) that... more »

Why doesn’t the government start a Go Fund Me account to help pay for the wall. I know there are MANY who would donate.
