CREW Report Details DHS Mismanagement

by Craig Jennings, 12/5/2007

Revenue & Spending, Government Performance
In the report, CREW details billions of dollars in waste and mismanagement of taxpayer dollars, for example:
  • $24 billion has been spent, and at least $178 million wasted, on the failed Coast Guard Deepwater program;
  • over $600 million has been allocated for unworkable radiation border scanners;
  • $1.3 billion has been lost on the USVISIT program, which was never fully implemented; and
  • projected $2 billion loss on the SBInet "virtual fence" border program.
