Lets hope someone will act on it before the terrorist get it set up. I can picture the mess it would make beyond the damage the bombs do. So lets say two or three ships explode in our harbors. Then Picture several hundred ships enroute with loaded containers being told they can't come into the U.S. until all their containers are checked. Now the way they are stacked they have to be offloaded somewhere in order to check them. Who in the world is going to want to let those ships into their harbors ? Think of what goes through the Mind of the Master when he finds out he might have a hidden bomb on his ship and no one wants to let him enter a port. Will he get the OK to dump his cargo ? Will he even wait for the OK , if he does chances are he will have keep the news from the crew or make up a story for them so they don't throw him overboard and dump the cargo on their own. -------- Jim
