That barge of a trawler might be carrying explosives.

Well, if the terrorists didn't know how to do it, now, that article should
give them a few ideas.

Please. The terrorists today are far more sophisticated than they were
before Bush invaded Iraq and provided an endless supply of U.S.
personnel on which to practice and perfect their tradecraft. Our
military has said that from time to time...the IED's being used today
are way more advanced than those of a couple of years ago.

I'm expecting one of the next large attacks on us to be housed within a
container on a freighter in a U.S. harbor. After all, we only inspect 3%
of those cargo containers.


You're right. Key words, "in the harbor". By the time the container gets on
land, it's too late. That's why it's stupid to 'inspect' them after they're
off loaded. Point of origin, Harry, point of origin.

Of course, you've got to preach the Dem's mantra, so your opinions are
understood.
