60 minutes. Handouts for the homeland

Description

Since Sept. 11, Congress has appropriated nearly $10 billion for homeland security to protect Americans from terrorism. As Correspondent Steve Kroft reported last spring, congressional critics, armed with independent studies, are alleging the money is being squandered, and that programs are riddled with handouts that have little to do with making the country safer, and everything to do with restocking police and fire departments with all sorts of equipment that has nothing to do with terrorism. Steve Kroft reports again.
