Great link, onetime2, I wouldn't mind discussing it in another thread.
Here's my quick beef about these two distinct threats (ICBMs fired at the US vs clear lack of serious port security):
1) ICBMs fired from outside the US are easily pinpointed to point of origin, and we already spend billions on our own response mechanism for this threat (our own ICBMs)
2) I don't know the stat offhand, but only a terrifying minority of cargo containers that come into the US are inspected with any degree of vigilance.
So in terms of priorities, I know which one should be higher instinctively- the one that we have no defense against.
If you want to discuss this more feel free to PM me or start a new thread.
