What a wasted afternoon. Waiting a couple hours for a press conference hyped by the media like crazy. It turned out to be a wallpaper job with some routine facts thrown in for the easily-satisfied.

It was also the usual puffery with everyone in the presser and the guests in the studio ranting about how smoothly and efficiently everything worked........how every part of security worked like clockwork (endlessly and repetively).

The completely vacuous Fox studio infobabe just agreed with everyone and repeated every thing she heard as though we didn't listen. Not one original idea or question. I wanted to feed her a cracker.

Then after everybody waiting for hours, the networks abruptly shut the presser out. Man what a letdown. It went down like that meteor in the news.

One thing I wanted to know was where the electric parts were headed. They can be used by terrorists. The port infobabe dodged the question. I would have asked how long they've been in the country and what part of the country they came in.

I bet at least one or more is illegal or a fugitive and the driver was trying to smuggle him (or them) into the port complex. Then he or they would try to stow away on a ship somewhere. There may be contacts they have on cargo ships who will help smuggle.

Well, she said they're all legal. We'll see.

The legals are the scary ones because they have a cover.

Not really, though. We found out that port security isn't entirely an oxymoron, and that's good to know. And if these guys really are just three incredible boneheads, I'm happy it's a false alarm :)

"What a wasted afternoon."

LOL..I had a bit of fun here today! Your wrap up post is spot on though! The Press NEVER ASKS THE MOST OBVIOUS questions anymore! It started with them not asking the most important one in the very beginning....Was the truck on the way in or the way out of the port?

Since they failed to ask that question...just about everything they reported on from then on was a disjointed mess. The Miami Herald guys reported that there were two 55 gallon drums on board the truck...now according to the presser, that was all false. Anyone gonna ask the Herald where in the hell they got that info?

The press failed yet again today, not the Freepers...

Freep On!!

"County and federal squads examined the truck's cargo container and found only auto wiring harnesses to be shipped to Latin America. The wiring devices are used to help rewire electronic equipment such as stereos in cars."
