Well sorry to say, but I think you would be ignorant. Or maybe you forgot about the whole phone call survelliance thing? Wasn’t that the purpose of Homeland Security in the first place? To keep an eye out.

Um, Firstly, we have Police, State Police, FBI, DEA, ICE, BATF, etc.
They should be keeping an eye out.
DHS was created in response to a particular threat, and while they may have a wider purview than that, it’s not like the threat is gone or taken care of.
Maybe they should watch out for Elohim city, brown shirt extremists and I am no fan of such people by a large fraction. But do the job we hired you for first.
Now, when I think about Code Pink, if somebody were following them,
wouldn’t they have known that they were going to crash the RNC on Olbermann’s pass and maybe told somebody, or kept them from harassing Gary Ackerman at his houseboat, or kept them out of the bailout hearings ?
Otherwise, what is the point, they are a bunch of middle aged nutty ladies, no ?
