This whole mess is politically crafted IMHO. The Democrats have been looking for a way to compete with the Republicans in appearing strong on national security issues, which is probably why they made such a big deal out of the situation, and the Republicans couldn't just stand by and let the Democrats take out their one main political strength, so they jumped in on it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So? Right now, only 5.6 percent of cargo containers that enter the country are actually scanned by security teams, and our radiation screening equipment has an error rate of 50%. Frankly, given the amount of scrutiny that they're under, I'd be surprised if DPW didn't do a better job than the current contractors. Of course, now that they've withdrawn their buyout deal, we can go back to the safe and reliable status quo, right?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Every container that enters Hong Kong is electronically scanned for radioactive contents, and that's the second busiest port in the world. The system can scan the contents of a truck that's moving at 10 miles per hour, and can even detect shielded radioactive elements.

If anything, that sounds like it would be more efficient than the handheld units that our ports are using.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
