Port Operations is not part of our national security, I would hate to
think we have turned over national security to a bunch of Longshoreman and
a company whose responsibility is to unload freight as quickly as
possible. The national security of our ports is and should be the
responsibility's of US Custom and Homeland Security.

Did you read the article by Clark Kent Ervin, in which he said there *is*
some overlap between port management and security. Which part of the 5th
paragraph do you not believe, and why don't you believe it?

(Clark Kent Ervin, the inspector general of the Homeland Security
Department from 2003 to 2004, is the author of the forthcoming "Open
Target: Where America is Vulnerable to Attack.")


Doug, if Customs folks and crane operators pee in the same toilet there is
some overlap. *What* overlap? You are trying to make it sound as though
they are the same function. They aren't.
