An interesting point

This rather lengthy govexec.com article points out an interesting problem. All of the first and second tier individuals at the Department of Homeland Security are Bush political appointees.

This article asks the question, "what happens to our security in Jan. '09?," but I would argue the problems will start to appear earlier than that as DHS personnel begin to take jobs in the private sector starting in '08.

Certainly, there will be people holding over, but the continuity of knowledge will be severly impaired in a transition. Just interesting.
