I bring this up because I remember several articles in the papers and a couple of threads on here about how the govt was short changing the states money to fund security requirements.
In some cases the funding doesn't show up. (In particular money earmarked for first responders, port and airport security systems (a now Federal program)) In other cases money is thrown at projects without plans. It's a little more complicated than one thing or the other usually.
