If the US has reason to believe that those ports are light on security then yes. Just because you are a port does not mean we have to allow you to ship whatever you want into the country. Would we allow a North Korea frigate to sail unmolested into NY harbor?

Once again, that isn't the answer to the question. Yes or no is all I am asking for. This is not a gray area. If DPW cannot be trusted in American ports, they can't be trusted in foreign ports. So once again, should the US block containers from the ports I mentioned above?

It's not a yes/no answer. But if you must have a yes/no answer then I say yes those ships should be stopped and inspected more so that other ships entering the country. Or do you think old haired grandmothers should be stripped search in an airport while the 21 year old Middle easterner with a backpack behind her should be allowed thru with no inspection because he is wearing an I love NY t-shirt?
