The Department of Homeland Security now does software security? Say what?

Because Patrick Beyer, SWAMP's Project Manager at Morgridge Institute for Research, the project's prime contractor, explained, "With open source's popularity, more and more government branches are using open-source code. Some are grabbing code from here, there, and everywhere." Understandably, "there's more and more concern about the safety and quality of this code. We're the one place you can go to check into the code"

looks like they want to at least somehow be useful and relevant. triple A use of tax billions.
 
Remember the NSA used the FBI and CIA as cover front for their cyber operations. This is the same agency that endorsed and inserted back doors into security software so they could get inside.

Now do you really trust Homeland Security considering how they are tied together at the hip?
 
I think the tools look useful, as long as they don't modify people's code as they analyze them.
