See #82.

People seem to forget that the company ownership and management isn't the weakest link in our security processes. The weakest link is the longshoreman, truck driver, law enforcement officer, etc. with a double-digit IQ who accepts a cash bribe from some Sicilian-looking guy to "look the other way" when a container gets processed at the port or an off-site warehouse.

You and I may agree on a lot of topics, but this will never be one of them unless you come to your senses. Almost daily there is another fruit-cake idea lately that is not just problematic in it's own right, but when coupled with a myriad of other hair-brained disasterous notions, places this nation in the 'house of cards' category, when it comes to national security.

This plan is absurd. I'm sorry you can't see it.

You're way off base...The bad guys wear suits, and attend board meetings, or collects votes for public office...

The average guy working for a living is just as patriotic or more so than any politician or CEO that you might know...Your credibility is slipping...

Exactly. The unions are the weak link. This is about briber and paybacks. The Ports of Authority that do these contracts are all corrupt. The Ports Authorities, which are local patronage operations, make these contracts.
