They have no anthrax? No biological agents?
I hear all this talk about how easy it would be to sneak nasty stuff into the US through the ports.
Odd that all these logistics haven't been figured out by those who seek to do us harm.

Thats not the reason Paul. There are eight satellites shared by commercial shippers that observe commercial vessels all over the world. Commercial ships are constantly observed. Dubai is the most modern port in the world and like the US the ships are rigidly tracked up to 30 hrs when arriving or leaving a port. Ships run on a schedule and are not allowed to deviate or stop en-route.
They must maintain a set speed and that speed does not allow boarding. When a ship leaves a port it has a set time to be at the next port terminal. It has a set time to load or unload at the terminal and must leave when specified. If you violate procedures you will be boarded and inspected. You will not be allowed in any port until the security check is completed. Ships do not sail willie nilly anywhere they please. They have a designated route they must adhere. If you refuse to be inspected you will be fired upon. Pleasure vessel are a far more threat than a commercial vessel. Commercial vessels are very well protected. They carry millions and sometimes billions of dollars in cargo. These investment require heavy security.
