I was on the bus yesterday and noticed that Bryman College now offers as one of its programs 'Homeland Security Specialist'. I'm pretty sure that says something important and scary about this country.

Would you like to aid in the protection of our country? Due to recent terrorist events, there is an increased demand for trained safety and security employees throughout the nation. The Homeland Security Specialist program will provide you with a solid foundation in planning, implementing, and managing security operations for an organization.

Yikes.
