I suspect also that people who get a warm cozy feeling from it would not be in any hurry to include, say, Puerto Rico in its meaning. Me, I associate it with the Bush/Cheney years. Gives me hives.

@pieist @AnnemarieBridy DHS does cover Puerto Rico, but not Guam, which has its own Guam Homeland Security.
