"We're going to leave for the next administration a pretty well-managed organization," said Secretary Michael Chertoff. The Homeland Security boss, meeting with reporters this morning, spelled out several security nightmares that the department has fixed following the 9/11 terrorist attacks that led to its creation five years ago.

For example, he said that every ship container box that comes into the United States is checked for radiation. He also said that terrorist financing had been squeezed and that scrutiny of travelers in and out of the country had been tightened. Chertoff said that he had taken a special interest in tracking small aircraft and boats coming to U.S. shores and suggested that such aircraft would be the easiest way for terrorists to deliver a nuclear attack on the United States.

Wow, that and the bullshit TSA "controls", might be just the thing that makes me sleep better at night...

Couldn't the same weapon be brought over the Mexican or Canadian border on foot or in a Tunnel? Please... these measures are just another self-fulfilling prophecy to keep the DHS in "power" and spreading more fear to try to control the American People.
