As Federal Protective Service turns 15, Congress might change its role

The Daily Debrief gets analysis on this 1th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.

Today marks the 15th anniversary of the event that sparked the creation of the Federal Protective Service; the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.

Homeland Security Today editor David Silverberg brings us analysis of what this change could mean.
