SECOND UPDATE: Congress Daily writes, “Homeland security would get boost under Obama budget.”

THIRD UPDATE: Washington Post writes, “The Department of Homeland Security’s $43 billion budget would increase spending on border and transportation security but slashes funding for a domestic network of sensors to detect a nuclear bomb or radioactive materials.” The Trucker tells, “The Department of Homeland Security’s Trucking Security Program would be eliminated under President Barack Obama’s FY 2010 budget proposal made public today. The Obama budget proposes to cut the TSP “as it does not allocate awards based on risk assessment.”

FOURTH UPDATE: DHS program cuts and “pauses” noted in 6:00 pm story from the Washingon Post. While the Wall Street Journal identifies contractors who may benefit from proposed TSA budget increase."
