Juliette N. Kayyam, Undersecretary of Homeland Security in Massachusetts gave an interesting view of the challenges of establishing a homeland security program.  A focus on interoperability, ports and planning has emerged as her platform in addition to her continuity of government functions.  I'd have liked to hear about the cooperation with the critical infrastructure in private hands.  Continuity of operations for the sectors covered under the National Infrstructure Protection Plan go hand in hand with  speed of recovery from an incident.

And, of course, what role does identity and credentialing play in the Massachusetts security agenda?
