No, no cuts to Coast Guard, just use them more widely to curb illegal immigration. Give them more and broader assignments.

No, no cuts to federal FEMA unless it's the silly stuff they do and they do do some silly stuff, cuts to some states at this point makes some sense. States should be able to afford their own preparedness roles to a greater extent. Coastal states have enormous advantage economically over inland states due to the ocean and beach tourism, more international visitors due to their famous cities on or near the oceans, so they should use their added economic advantage to finance their state emergency preparedness roles, perhaps not all, but more of it.

TSA, well, personally I think the airlines should do far more of this. They're the ones making the money, they finance the airports, this is their "turf", they have no problem throwing a big mouth off a plane, so I think they're skilled and ready to check bags and look out for ne'er do wells such as terrorists. They could or should pay for the majority of TSA staff and roll it into their ticket prices. People who aren't flying like most taxpayers shouldn't be paying for it every hour of every day of every month of every year. Most people pay "taxes and fees" on their cell phones that goes to the government to finance telecommunications industry so pay fees on airline tickets to pay for protection from terrorism.
