I was very impressed by the way things had been arranged and work here.

We will ask the Coast Guard. They have more responsibility for those vessels that are alongside while they're docked in port.

the bottom line will be the legislation that will provide help and actual assistance to those ports for those in charge of security.

Are you comfortable with the ability of the system that we have set up now to permit that type of attack on a vessel in port?

Do they have the fire power if that vessel just decided to keep coming right on in through your perimeter and to pull alongside a vessel to stop it?

The system that we saw this afternoon was excellent.

Is it a legitimate concern if an operator stares at that machine for 2 hours?

Not to be an alarmist, but I could really take that boat from Bimini and hit the outer marker and just keep right on coming in and go right into the side of the QE II.

The private security forces have gotten an incredible amount of criticism in how they have done inspections.

We have to have a competitive society.

Only if someone comes in and challenges it.

It is not a waiver, Mr. Burkes. It is an exemption. It is an exemption that has the effect of law.
