The security we have in place in our ports is just to tight and too sophisticated. What you SHOULD be worrying about is a bomb coming ashore off a drug smuggling boat, or accross the Mexican or Canadian border.

It is categorically NOT a security issue, it is a political one.

You fucking idiots who decry this administrations lack of concern about security crack me the fuck up.

Why weren't you crying like bitches when Clinton was closing bases, cutting budgets of vital agencies like the CIA or NSA, and saying "nah" to killing Bin Laden when we had several oppurtunities to do so?

Grow the fuck up.

Congress has NO authority to act on this, so skate it off.
