2006 05:35:30 -0500 A lot of money courses through the veins of the homeland security sector, but the usual suspects -- the big hitters -- receive most of it; small and mid-size companies have a

when the Pentagon needs computer chips for its advanced weapons -- say, a GPS-guided bomb -- it buys the chips abroad; experts are worried that hostile entities will penetrate the chip factory floor subtly and stealthily to introduce flaws onto the chips; trouble is, until the chip actually fails in action, there is no way to detect such flaws; the Pentagon wants the help of business and academia in developing malware detection methods http://hsdailywire.com/single.php?id=1619&source=rss http://hsdailywire.com/single.php?id=1620&source=rss Wed, 28 Jun 2006 05:35:30 -0400 There are 120,000 phones in more than 3,100 correctional facilities around the U.S., and inmates complete 750,000 collect calls daily on these phones;
