commonsense,

The 10 mile high brick wall dividing the intelligence agencies from each other. This also, includes the "it's my agencies - not yours" mentality and mindset, so why should we share?

This problem was also prevalent in various departments within the agencies, and therefore added more complications and inefficiencies. It was like a 5000 piece puzzle - being put together by 50 people from different agencies, however, 5 of those people remove various pieces making it impossible to "connect-all-the-dots.

Hopefully, with the DHS, things will vastly improve.
