Leading for Security: Asa Hutchinson was given the daunting task of integrating security efforts among such agencies as the Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Federal Law Enforcement Training - nearly 110,000 people total. Hutchinson successfully coordinated the overall security of U.S. borders and transportation systems, setting immigration enforcement policies and priorities, and developing and implementing visa security programs. Hutchinson details for audiences the challenges of streamlining disparate organizations and entities into one common unit with one compelling goal: meeting the threats to security.

Modernizing Border Protection: In addition to successfully integrating formerly fragmented border agencies into one unified inspection force, Hutchinson modernized border inspections by advancing the use of new border technology, including a historic biometric entry-exit system for foreign visitors to the United States. Hutchinson outlines how technology and biometrics will continue to play a role in security efforts, and technological advances in the field of security will influence business practices of the future.

Security and Civil Liberties: Securing the world provides not only numerous logistical challenges, but political and philosophical challenges as well. How does a philosophy of limited government apply to the mandate of securing the U.S. from terrorists? Are civil liberties and privacy threatened? And what role does the private sector play? In a compelling presentation with far-reaching ramifications, Hutchinson addresses these questions, posing his own answers to what role the government should play - and what limits it should have.
