Technology is worthless unless you have people who are able to interpret it. For example, if you have fancy technology that can represent threats, you need people who can sort through them to determine where the real threats are and how to react to them.
How do we train agents to develop and utilize their emotional intellingence?
In what ways does emotional intelligence fill gaps left by technology?
Is it likely that future technological advances will outpace the ability of terrorists to circumvent security measures?
There are many subquestions that would have to be addressed as you answer this question. Many of them are similar to those from your other questions. Among them are:
- What, exactly, is emotional intelligence?
- How do we measure people's emotional intelligence in a way that is both reliable and valid?
- How do we determine what is "important" for Homeland Security?
- How do we determine which impacts on Homeland Security come from emotional intelligence and which come from advances in technology?
The last two of these are the most important and the most difficult to answer in any valid way.

Sub Questions for: Will emotional intelligence prove to be more important than overseas intelligence when it comes to Homeland Security?subquestions for this question: Will emotional intelligence prove to be more important than overseas intelligence when it comes to Homeland Security?
Emotional intelligence and overseas intelligence go hand in hand. People need to understand the differences between other cultures and their own. There can sometimes be a big cultural difference that limits to emotional intelligence that can apply to overseas intelligence.

How effective has our overseas intelligence been so far?
What are some areas in which overseas intelligence has failed us? How could emotional intelligence have possbily prevented this failure?

The subquestions for this question would be almost identical to the subquestions for the question you have asked about the relative importance of emotional intelligence and overseas intelligence. Basically, you are having to figure out some way to determine how much of an impact each of these things has on Homeland Security. This is very difficult (as in the last two subquestions I gave for that other question) because it is very hard to know what factors cause what results.
One subquestion that would apply here that is different from the other question is "Might overseas intelligence rely on emotional intelligence and vice versa?" In other words, a person who is gathering or analyzing overseas intelligence surely needs to have some emotional intelligence to do his/her job. At the same time, all the emotional intelligence in the world will not help if there is no overseas intelligence to apply it to.
