The Department of Homeland Security is adequate enough to prevent some terrorist attacks, but not all of them. For example, two teens in Franklin County made threats against their high school (Franklin County High School). This threat not only included a school shooting, but a bombing. These teens were trying to get others to help them and this resulted in them getting caught. These teens are being charged with conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism. I know that the FBI has its own counterterrorism unit, but I find it interesting that although this is still an ongoing investigation nothing has been mentioned of the Department of Homeland Security. Parents were not even alerted of the incident until the following day and again where was Homeland?
