Please return to bureaucracy bashing mode.

Avec plaisir ! Although some of my best friends are bureaucrats. Well not best, perhaps

I am aware of the oversight provisions pertaining to the DHS, but do not accept that they are being satisfactorily (or even perfunctorily) applied. The GAO has been somewhat critical (the $2000 coffee, screening effectiveness etc.) but has not addressed the sharp end - how the DHS treats individuals, be they US citizens or 'furriners'. And I do not accept that such information is in all cases a matter of National Security and thus must be kept secret.

As to accountability, do you think we will ever know who decided what in the Dr. Badawi case, and what admonition(s) resulted ? I don't.
