After September 11, 2001, the Department of Homeland Security was formed by George W Bush to 'coordinate homeland security efforts'. It incorporates 22 agencies including the ICE, the Border Patrol, Customs and Border Protection, the US Coast Guard and the US Secret Service.
But what would need to happen for something like the DHS to be formed BEFORE September 11 2001 and what kind of impact would this have on US national security?
Also, a related question, were there any proposals for a DHS-like agency to be founded before 9/11?
