I am sure almost $500M will go to security
You stress too much. Almost 8.5% will end up going into actual security products and processes. This after the 10% goes to a bunch of "admin" companies, and then 60% to study groups, 22.5% go to support groups helping the study groups, etc. I say good bang for the buck, and you seem to imply that when $billions are thrown at any problem in the government with no oversight that mishandling occurs and massive pork barrel payback happens. This is just not the case, it's a myth.
