Michael Cheroff is a little pawn in the game. It would confuse the subject if his role is over-emphasized.

The above link says:
There are 3,984 federal, state and local organizations, each with its own counter-terrorism responsibilities and jurisdictions. At least 934 of these organizations have been created since the 2001 attacks or became involved in counter-terrorism for the first time after 9/11.
The total cost of monitoring America (domestic spying)  is in hundreds of billions with about 800,000 people involved. For example (from the WP article): The DHS has given $31 billion in grants since 2003 to state and local governments for homeland security and to improve their ability to find and protect against terrorists, including $3.8 billion in 2010.
Many private contractors make big bucks out of the game.
