[Vision2020] At least a few have some sense!

[Warren Hayman]

The other morning NWPR carried a story about this, and according to one 
of the Baltimore Harbor honchos at least, the reality of the contract 
is quite a bit milder than control of all ports, etc. More like control 
of some specific docks, with USCG and customs standing immediately by. 
At the same time, he didn't seem to me to be that impressed with 
security measures in place now.

I could have this wrong, of course. Check out the NWPR website-- their 
story may still be available for listening, downloading or whatever.
