I just printed up that information.

The same would apply to a major terrorist attack on our soil.

Saudis arrest over 2,000 illegal workers

Snip: During the operation, the police busted prostitution houses, illegal maid networks, forged ID document rackets, alcohol manufacturers and distributors, and illegal international call cabin operators. Drugs were confiscated from a number of homes. “Security forces will continue performing operations till they clean out our cities from crime,” the officer told Arab News.

Port Security - Spin VS Fact

Snip: Customs officials argue that's why they started the Container Security Initiative. Now operational at some 40 foreign ports, the program "pushes the borders out" by stationing Customs inspectors at foreign seaports to target and oversee the inspection of high-risk cargo before it sets sail for the U.S.

That's just more eyewash. What officials don't tell you is that those U.S. inspectors have to rely on locals to inspect the containers they flag as high risk. And many times the locals refuse to look. Between the start of the CSI program in January 2002 and September 2004, foreign inspectors refused Customs' requests to inspect 4,013 containers. That's 28% of the total referred to them within this period of inspection. Feel safer?

And few foreign partners inspect containers for nukes. Only two foreign ports in the CSI program even have the unreliable radiation portal monitors. Feel safer now?

Port security updates stalled

Snip: New Jersey officers patrolling the harbor - as well as trains and ferries that go back and forth between the states - lose authority under current law when they cross into New York.

During emergencies, Gov. George Pataki has had to sign executive orders allowing New Jersey law enforcement to make arrests in New York, and homeland security officials in both states agree the system is inefficient.

Muslim cleric says Islam will finally win

Snip: Speaking to the Oslo newspaper, Mullah Krekar, who came from Iraq, said: 'We`re the ones who will change you. Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. 'Every western woman in the (European Union) is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries (is) producing 3.5 children. By 2050, 30 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim.'

Feds announce Bay Area Latino gang arrests

Snippets: At least one man is believed to belong to the notorious El Salvadorean gang MS-13, while others are members of the Norteno, Sureno and Sur-13 gangs, Holman said.

Three of the men arrested were U.S. citizens and the remainder foreign nationals in the United States illegally, one from El Salvador and 11 from Mexico.
