I would take the FDA, the DEA and BATF and split them up as follows:

1. Turn the food-regulation part of FDA into a Department of Food Security under USDA.
2. Combine the drug-regulation part of the FDA, the DEA in its entirely, and the alcohol and tobacco divisions of BATF into a Department of Drug Security under the Department of Health and Human Services.
3. Turn the firearms and explosives offices at BATFE into a Department of Ordnance Security.
