Post TSA rules
Passengers going through TSA checkpoints are required to follow rules that are not spelled out in law or regulation but rather in documents claimed by DHS to be SSI. Secret laws are clearly un-Americain. Post the rules that passengers are required to follow to the web.

Immigration -National Visa Center
Information from the phone contact system is not always up-to-date about cases. Need to improve it to provide the actual/current status of cases. Applications take a long time at the USCIS Office, but there is a tool where one can check the status of a case online. We need to have a similar online tool to check status of cases that are at the NVC. It should give a general ideas on where in the process a case is.

Make communication a priority
Regarding USCIS: Promote communication with the general public regarding the status of their cases, thus thwarting undo stress and frustration. Rather than just letting their case status sit at "Initial Review" for 4+ months.
Add a category for "background check initiated", or "case awaiting priority date". Anything to ease the frustration of having to wait for months to be reunited with a loved one.

Off-Topic Comments
Why are comments on the TSA off-topic to Homeland Security. I am puzzled.

Fusion Centers
However, the initial goal of these systems may have caused a great deal of scope creep. The ACLU analysis provides a fair critique of some of the worries about these systems:

Open Government
I'd like to see the Federal Government have a law like Florida's "Sunshine Law". And part of that law is the Government Meetings law: "The law states that all meetings of any governmental body where official acts will be taken are public meetings."

End the DHS Voting Distortion
Votes should be listed in the order received, and not by the number of votes received. Those ideas submitted first, and having votes already, tend to attract far more votes than recent submissions with few votes. USDA is listing ideas in the order received, because they are well aware of the voting distortion using the current approach, on this site, by DHS.

Put all unclassified reports to Congress on DHS.gov
The Department sends hundreds if not thousands of reports to Congress every year, most of which are unclassified, but very few of these are available in the public domain. DHS should create a public repository of such reports on its website.
