its not a debate. your only point to every assertion is - "nothing could hapopen", "nothing could happen".

that's not an argument, its a belief.

I didn't say "nothing can happen".

And in case you dont know this, the Terminal Management does not delegate the Union worker to a job.

In other words, if you go to a port today and you see John Doe up there on the Crane that is working the ship, the Port Operator did not "employ" him for that job.

The Union handles the work assignments. The staff go to the Union dispatch hall and get the assign from the Union.

The Shipping Lines tell the Port Operators how many crews they think they'll need on any given day, and the Port Operator will tell the Union Dispatch hall that they need so many gangs hired for what shift.

Really you guys.. if a terrorist wants to get stuff in the country , erecting a huge conspiracy at the port would be the least effective ways of doing it.

For heavens sake today, all someone needs to do is make Chicago be teh Port of Entry for the goods, and Customs will issue a Bond, and the container leaves the port with no hassle.

But I'm sure you all took this into consideration already.
