"'Living in a port city as I do (containers are off-loaded at docks directly adjacent to the downtown area), I have heard a fair number of discussions on both radio and local television about port security.'

"Means absolutely nothing if, like you, those doing the talking know nothing about the subject."

Is the Seattle Port Commissioner good enough for you, Teribus? I can't think of anyone who would know better than he does, and he says 4% are actually inspected, the rest, they just check the manifest. This, he says, is outrageous and wants to get it changed.

Once again, you try to stun with cut-and-paste, but great volumes of blather is still blather.
