C. Thomas McMillen is the kind of guy that Venture Capital is hunting for. Also PhD's with good ideas like Google. I don't think that just any body can raise money like that.

Homeland Security is BIG Business for those inside and around the beltway. That is about all it is.
How how secure will it make you as more and more beltway bandits figure out how to spend more dough on more stuff.

In an attempt to ensure Fortress America's bona fides with investors and government officials, McMillen has attracted an all-star cast of characters from the defense and intelligence communities, including former Sen. Don Nickles (R-Okla.) and Asa Hutchinson, former undersecretary for the federal Department of Homeland Security"
