Bush wins battle for homeland security department
The Senate measures Bush's push to create a homeland security department as a landmark package while also advancing terrorism insurance. Bush said the bills will protect Americans and spur job creation, but funding remains unresolved as Republicans take control in the next session. The bill extends airport inspection deadlines and allows cockpit weapons for pilots, amid broader security reforms.
