62,450 employees according to Wikipedia, but many are going to be administrative and technical staff of course.

DHS is not just the TSA.  Customs and Border Patrol, US Coast Guard, FAM's, ICE, lots of federal LEO's under the umbrella of DHS.  I saw the story on Drudge, kinda figured this would come up again.

Thats 63 million rounds over a 2 year period, which is just about enough to ensure that all those who ARE qualified can remain so for another year.

AAllen:
Also note these contracts are not written to purchase X number rounds, they are to purchase up to x number rounds.  So the DHS may by 1 or they may by 12.6 million rounds or anyplace in between, but whatever they buy will be at a set price for 2 years.
