And how well have the Republicans done on increasing the security checks of cargo since 911?
There is still only about 5-7% of shipping inspected.
Doh!

You are right about the security of our ports AND our borders. Right after 9/11, I said that we should draft 200,000 men and train them for port and border security. Do not mix them with our current military. they would be used for Homeland security only.
This is one of my big disagreements with the Bush Administration.
But, just because someone can come in with a suitcase nuke doesn't mean that we don't owe it to our children to build and deploy a missle defense when it's ready.
Perhaps good radiation detectors can defend againts the suitcase bomb. Once a missle is fired, you can kiss your ass goodbye.
