The perfect being the enemy of the good, you know, being our constant challenge here.

So, fiscal year 2018, Dr. Brinsfield, I mean, so you are basically saying, for the next year-and-a-half we can expect DHS to stay with the status quo?

The threat is real.

We know terrorist groups like ISIS have an interest in utilizing biological agents in their attacks.

A bio-attack could cause illness or death in hundreds of thousands of people.

We can all agree we need to make improvements, I think, to our current detection system, that we rolled out BioWatch in a hurry, and so that comes with limitations.

Great. One last question, and then I will hand it over to the Ranking Member here, on Bioshield, is that the Blue Ribbon Study Panel related the need to implement better military and civilian collaboration.

Again, this is information sharing within one organization where the CBP guys checking him when he came in didn't have access that he didn't have a current I-20 on file.

ISIS is moving at the speed of broadband while we are moving at the speed of bureaucracy.

We are going to be using those more intensively in a more strategic and targeted way.

We have just got, you know, bureaucracy and stovepipes and information sharing that we have got to figure out how to speed that up.
