He said nothing about port security. He was speaking of port
operations.
For some reason, many of you are confusing the two.

Last I heard, we were barely able to check 10% of incoming containers.
If
a
hostile party controlled operations, do you think that number could
change,
either by manipulating security, or other means?


Not unless we beef up port security, i.e., the Coast Guard and Border
Patrol. Crane operators don't inspect containers.

I didn't ask the question correctly. Do you think the operator could
negatively affect security if they wanted to?


He could, unless the port security was doing its job properly.

I wish all terrorists thought the way you do. We'd have nothing to worry
about.
