Homeland Security from WikiPedia:

The term homeland security is relatively new "umbrella term" for security efforts to protect the United States against perceived external or internal threats. The term arose following a merger of several U.S. governmental agencies in 2003 to form the United States Department of Homeland Security after the September 11 attacks, and may be used to refer to the actions of that department. The term is currently not in use in any other countries.

In the United States, the concept of "homeland security" extends and recombines responsibilities of several government agencies and entities, including the United States National Guard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the United States Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the United States Secret Service, the Transportation Security Administration, and Civil Air Patrol.
