#1 Homeland Security was ostensibly created to integrate the silos in individual agencies. There was supposed to be a sharing of intel and thus more efficiency. It was thought that terrorists would be headed off before they did anything. However, things have happened anyway. We got more bureaucracy and inefficiency. In light of recent scandals and revelations. Inefficiency may be a prophylaxis for people in flyover land, that is, protection of us from the current crop of apparatchiks.

#6  I don't know if it has any actual intel functions

It doesn't and deliberately wasn't set up to.
