Surely not terrorism, our ports being so secure and all. /sarc

Ya know, the knee-jerk cut-n-paste cynical phrases really get old.

They catch and search a suspected container and you are claiming that this illustrates that ports aren't secure? Yes, the Democrat sounbite is that 95% containers don't get physically opened and inspected, but that doesn't mean they aren't run through various detectors, sniffers, etc. And it sounds like this shipped may have fit a profile, gotten extra scrutiny (apparently they opened and inspected at least one based on an official's suspicions.)

All this suggests that far more is going on in dealing with imported containers than what a website spectator knows about.

No, no, no!

This is obviously just more fear-mongering organized by Bushitlerburton to distract us from... uhm... something or other...

Oops. Sorry. Wrong chat board.
