CBS: Border Travelers Checks For Nukes

CBS: Border Travelers Checks For Nukes

"Officials at the Homeland Security Department said they expected that all 18,000 border inspectors who are being consolidated into the new department ÷ 9,000 customs agents, 6,000 immigration agents and 3,000 agriculture agents ÷ will be outfitted with one of the radiation devices and trained in their use by the middle of next year. "

I'm a litttle confused by this article, on the one hand they're saying that they have been checking some people since 9/11 and the other that this isn't going to be water tight till summer 2004.

I really would hhave thought they'd have this sorted ages ago... And what the hell's happening at UK ports and airports? Nowt, I'd guess if the US is so far behind - we'll be even further.

By now it may even be too late.
