I thought it was very odd that Homeland security, Port Authority, and another agency went to the trouble of doing a dry run on terrorist attack at the port, and along with that a cost value assessment of the chaos it would cause.

>>> Many thoughtful people are aware of where our vulnerabilities are. The bureaucracies themselves are not ignorant about what the prime targets are: ports, nuclear plants, chemical and oil refineries and storage facilities.

>>> What is only lacking is the political will to address these weak points... to step up to the plate and fund real security initiatives.

>>> Unfortunately, most of the politicos only wish to engage in feel-good PR campaigns. The side-step the real security issues while wasting the needed money on their pet projects.
