Cargo Explosives

From Yahoo News:
"Obama says packages appeared to have explosives"

President Barack Obama says initial examination of two packages bound for the U.S. determined that they apparently contained explosive materials. Obama says the packages, which were intercepted overseas, originated in Yemen and were apparently bound for places of Jewish worship in Chicago. The president said the American public should be confident in the government's counterterror efforts. Obama spoke to reporters Friday hours after details of the potentially al-Qaida-linked plot emerged.

^ You would think that after last December when the guy with ties to Yemen tried to blow up the airliner the Obama Administration would start focusing on everything and everyone going to or coming from Yemen. It is no real surprise that the terrorists would try using cargo for their attacks since experts around the world have been saying it for years. The fact that the US does not inspect every piece of cargo entering/leaving the US by plane, train or ship is just plain stupid. Every air passenger is inspected before they fly so why not all the cargo? I would rather each piece of cargo be searched and there be delays then a bomb or worse happening because of the lax system. I guess Obama and his administration would rather be politically correct and not specfically search things/people from/going to Yemen, the Middle East, Pakistan, northern Africa or parts of Asia - even though they are known to hold terrorists plotting against the world. ^
