A National Geographic Channel Special.

Share this story

The Department of Homeland Security is a relatively new body of the US government. To say it’s shrouded in mystery is a bit much but the organization does have its share of secrets. While all those secrets can’t be divulged for obvious reasons, National Geographic Channel does an excellent job of taking you inside the company and its plans for the future.

Using the attacks of 9/11 as a backdrop the documentary delves deep into Homeland Securities efforts to counteract the efforts of terrorists. It’s a high risk business with a deadly margin for error, and the show depicts this admirably.

The show will take you to the various training sites and test facilities where anti terrorist counter measures are developed and tested. Things like special compounds that can withstand explosives are tested by Homeland Security on a daily basis. One thing you’ll see is a special plane container that can withstand bomb blasts, really.

Some might down play the importance of an agency like the Department of Homeland Security, but this documentary just might change their minds. The work they do is vital to the safety of Americans at home and abroad and the documentary shows you as much of that as the law will allow.

One thing the documentary does is convey just how difficult it is to keep Americans safe, it’s a costly enterprise that takes considerable time and resources. The Chloe project is one of those costly programs that if it works will make it safe for planes to take off and land in hostile areas.

Be sure to tune into the national Geographic Channel tonight at 10 pm. You will treated to a documentary that is on the cutting edge of new technologies used to make our country safe from attack or natural disaster. The techniques they are developing will be a benefit to countless life saving and law enforcement agencies the world over.
