We all saw that comming though that they would label it as such. Rather than prosecute the terrorists, or expect them to speak english while working in the U.S. as citizens, the port gaurd will undoubtedly have to take diversity training and learn 121 different languages in order to keep his job. In addition there will be a lawsuit wher ethe 3 terrorists collect a mill or so each for their "profiling" experience. What ever became of the "one is wanted for a felon" report? of course it was not a PC “miscommunication”, they lied. We all saw that comming though that they would label it as such.

There will be another attack and the naysayers will hopefully wake up before it is too late. I don't believe a word in the media that says it was miscommunication. Me thinks it is being kept under wraps and investigated. Just pray that it is so and that we have twarted another possible attack. Profiling should rule. All who are thinking dry run have it right.

Anyone who employs a driver younger than 21 years old is in violation of federal regulations. (Fox news reported that the driver was 20 years old.) Unauthorized passengers are also a violation. Not knowing the cargo is also a violation, but I hauled a lot of loads where I had no clue what it was. Not having correct shipping documentation is also a violation. From the news conference as covered by Fox, the only violations I see are the under age driver, and unauthorized passengers. The passenger with an outstanding warrant is most likely a co-driver with an unpaid traffic citation, or other violation. Probably, ‘the company’ will turn out to be the guy who has title to the truck. Law enforcement has a long history with violators like these three guys, going back to the days when independent contractors were hauling bootleg booze during prohibition. The Department of Transportation (DOT) shuts down guys like these three, everyday. If this was reconnaissance it would be STOOOOOPID to make these types of mistakes. If this was a terrorist attack, violence would have started before the security guard approached the truck, or at the moment he discovered the undeclared passengers. The real danger is terrorist infiltration of port operations, or transportation, (think airline baggage handlers, ground support vendors, etc). Once you have successfully embedded an agent ‘inside’, then carrying out an effective attack is relatively easy. Which, of course, means pre-employment background checks, and a government agency to do them. Most of the guys hauling those containers are independent contractors, a.k.a. owner-operators.
