Jeanne Meserve has defined homeland security reporting.

She covered the beat for CNN from the September 11th attacks through their tenth anniversary, as long as any reporter in the country.

Her portfolio has included intelligence, law enforcement, cyber, aviation, border and port security.

She has flown with a combat air patrol, reported from atop a crane in the port of Los Angeles and watched undercover red teams test airport security checkpoints.
