Getting tired of this insanity. Thank God that foreign interest have purchased terminals. I doubt that security could be any tighter because I just can't picture a foreign terminal owner bombing his own business. What stupidity. And I'm sure that the foreign interest that are using their own ships would not want to deep six their own vessels or vessels of another registry that use their terminal who have other interest in the US ports and businesses.

And lets take this a little further, any business doing business with the US would be careful that their containers are inspected and sealed before taking to the terminal for shipping. If one of these containers blew up, we have the source. If by chance a weapon was transfered by a container, that poses another problem that no matter what we try with the exception of inspection of each container of its contents would involve hundreds of thousands of port security officers and an almost impossible task.

That's because you are thinking like an American. To most Americans, their money/business has very high priority. To those who don't even value their own life, do you think they value their business/job/money?

Bottom line is that the values of our adversaries will most likely not match your own values.
