Yes I saw that, <G> Cargo containers have been the favorite mode of transporting drugs and other illegal contraband for years. Our deterrent has been a periodic check on arrival of some random containers and any that look suspicious. It hasn't even put a dent in the drug traffic, and it's a joke to think it will stop a dedicated terrorist. NO way out but to check every container "before" it gets loaded on a ship headed for the U.S. If we drag our feet they will shut down almost every major port in the U.S. before this is over, and the death toll will be in the millions instead of thousands. This could well be the most costly war this generation has ever seen, it could exceed WWII and every war since then all put together. And people better wake up to that fact. History now has a new face and just looking back will not help us a lot, What is coming has a whole new set of tools and tricks. Jim
