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?

Extra inspection isn't enough because of the sheer magnitude of containers entering the US from those ports. Therefore, you support stopping all containers from entering US ports because not all of them can be searched. That is a stupid position to take and that's your position.

That's a fake argument. We are the greatest technological advanced country on the face of the earth. Yet you say we can not figure out how to see what's inside a 10'by30' container made of sheet metal in a fast economical way? You position is we don't do it now so it can't be done. With that attitude we would not have won WW2 we would not have landed a man on the moon, we would not have created the Internet. Sure it will raise the cost but the cost is very small compared to what we would spend to rebuild one city. Look at NO.
