The President's visit today was the first time in three-and-a-half years he's been to the Homeland Security headquarters, a place whose own employees describe it as the worst place in the federal government to work.

In his meeting this afternoon with top officials, President Bush said he was very proud of the hard work of the men and women at Homeland Security.

But the results of the federal government's own survey of employee morale paints a different picture.

Of the 36 agencies surveyed, Homeland Security employees rated theirs as last: 36th in job satisfaction, 35th on leadership and 36th on results-oriented performance.

"Dysfunction equals danger," said Clark Kent Ervin, the former inspector general of the Homeland Security Department, who says the results of the survey are one more sign of serious trouble for the agency in charge of protecting America.
