My god, I actually agree with scaeagles and Alex on this topic and disagree with iSm. Perhaps this would be a good time to take a shower.
Seriously though, there was a
report today that I found pretty disturbing.
Quote:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two teams of government investigators using fake documents were able to enter the United States with enough radioactive sources to make two dirty bombs, according to a federal report made available Monday.
The investigators purchased a "small quantity" of radioactive materials from a commercial source, according to a Government Accountability Office report prepared for Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Norm Coleman, a Minnesota Republican.
The investigators posed as employees of a fictitious company and brought the materials into the United States through checkpoints on the northern and southern borders, the report stated.

I think that is good enough evidence that our borders are nowhere near the level of security that they need to be at. Nor do I think that any amount of "taking it to the terrorists before they strike here" negates the fact that just about anyone who wishes to harm us can easily sneak across our border.
