Two words: Homeland Security
Suppose this 'good man' has opened the door for a 'bad man'(or woman) to access? Perhaps only time will tell.
Like many I dislike the word 'Homeland', but the name 'Defense Department' was taken. In a war governments are called upon to do things which can prove dangerous in a later time of peace. Governments like the Confederate States which do not take such steps often find themselves without a later history to worry about.
