I cruise a bit; and the security I go through both on leaving the US, as well as returning home is normally TRIVIAL. Airport type scanner going on-board at each and every stop. X-ray luggage.

Leaving the ship - the entire ship is off-loaded, complete with 2 weeks worth of luggage in a matter of 3-4 hours.

There is no excuse to treat our allies like this. But, under the Obama administration, if you are an ally; expect to be abused. However, if this were a cruise ship from a country that means us harm - I’d bet they would be through Security in a matter of seconds.

I disagree. You are prescreened long before you ever get on the ship. The baggage is checked by dogs, I have seen this myself. You pass through a scanner when reboarding the ship and need a security ID card to leave and return to the ship. I find the security above adequate especially for this LOW risk crowd.

Worry more about the border with Mexico and leave the old fogies on cruise ships alone.

These little old white ladies had no problem with other U.S. ports. Hm?....Could it be that those in charge in Los Angeles weren't white? ( Just wondering.)
