We are not Safe!

LIZ SIDOTI, AP

I feel very, very afraid. These guys went through official checkpoints. What about all those places on the border that aren't guarded.

Undercover investigators slipped radioactive material _ enough to make two small "dirty bombs" _ across U.S. borders in Texas and Washington state in a test last year of security at American points of entry.

Radiation alarms at the unidentified sites detected the small amounts of cesium-137, a nuclear material used in industrial gauges. But U.S. customs agents permitted the investigators to enter the United States because they were tricked with counterfeit documents

It also makes me wonder what kind of twits they have working at the check points. How come they can't identify counterfeit documents. Also, if those alarms went off, they should have investigated what sent them off. Why didn't they do that? Sheesh, what do we have to do to get the President and Congress to seriously deal with our border problem?
