[BC] DHS requirements for transmitter site protection?

[Mike McCarthy]

DHS doesn't have any authority over TX site security.  There is no national 
security issue with individual TX sites unless their location poses an 
immediate threat to a major population center.  I'm sure the major site 
owners and buildings have spoken with DHS to review their security policies 
and make improvements as requested on a case by case basis.  BUT, AFAIK, 
there are no compulsory regulations from DHS on TX sites in general.  Only 
regulations from the FCC, OSHA, and the EPA.
