Good point --
-- about the Coast Guard's traditional role. And you're also correct that the article I quoted was not written about the total value of all services provided that might be called "anti-terrorism".
But you got me thinking about ports of entry, and container ships. Does the Coast Guard intercept and inspect any of them, not even all of them, before they reach port and offload? I can't answer that, but -- completely by coincidence -- NBC News began a week-long series about making America safer with a story about containerized cargo.
6% inspected out of 8 million annual, and only after they're already offloaded.
Stay tuned - Nuclear plants are on the schedule for tomorrow night's story.
