U.S. Spent $2.9 Billion on Tech for Homeland Security, Report Says

The U.S. government spent at least $2.9 billion in 2002 on information technology related to homeland security and will spend at least that amount again this year, Congress' auditing arm said. In a report, the General Accounting Office also said the two-year, $5.8 billion figure may be low because of potential IT-related costs not captured in the report.
