Homeland 

One of the best recent shows on TV. Based on the Israeli series Hatufim by Gideon Raff, it was developed by Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, two of the writing veterans from 24. The show is often alluded to as a more adult version of 24, what with some of the writers from season 7-8 joining, as well as Sean Callery composing the music. It also has strong language and nudity, and deep, rounded characters. The critical acclaim has been overwhelmingly positive and it has deservedly won awards.

The first season sees agent Carrie Matheson (Claire Danes) trying to figure out whether a recently re-discovered, thought dead marine called Nick Brody (Damian Lewis) is a turned terrorist. The many twists and turns keep the show on edge and you always want more because it's so goddamn awesome!

Season 2 recently started, and to not spoil anything, it's main plot concerns another planned attack on US soil.

Dave: "Did you watch Homeland last night?"
Gerald "Absolutely! I was not expecting that to happen at the end! I can't wait for the next episode!"

Homeland Security

A federal agency established after 9/11/2001 to carry on the work of the terrorists. They help us fear nature by taking over FEMA and diverting funds that would have been spent on hurricane relief to equip meter maids with assault rifles. Constant reminders to "report suspicious behavior" to the police have made us fear each other and criminalized social anxiety disorder. Thanks to their fine efforts, being too shy to ask a girl for sex is now as likely to get you investigated as asking a girl for sex.

If you want to know why you feel insecure blame Homeland Security.

homeland security seagulls 

n., seagulls or robot seagulls that hang around on piers/pilings or where airplanes board looking for "suspicious activity". Work for the government. Fascists.

"Is that a real seagull on that railing?"
"Or is it a homeland security seagull?"
"Welcome to the police state."

Homeland Security Advisory System

a system of fear tactics to keep the uninformed, ignorant, and resistant masses under the government's control. The System is divided into 5 risk levels; Severe, High, elevated, guarded, and low. its rarely Low because there is WMDs and "insurgents" in Iraq. It is really convenient to raise the alert before a political event where there may be protestors-I mean terrorists.

The Homeland Security Advisory System was raised to orange August 1, 2004 weeks before the GOP convention.

All actions taken by national, state and local governments, by the private sector, and by individuals to prevent a terrorist attack from happening, to protect a target from being hit, to respond aggressively and appropriately once a target is hit, and to recover after an attack.

The national government spends 30 billion dollars a year on homeland security programs. It spends more than 300 billion on department of defense projects.
