Actually Ive never had any ill feelings about this company running things other than I wish the Mafia still owned the piers - then there wouldnt be a security problem at all - but its kinda hard to justify the outcry on this one when we already have China and Saudi Arabia running other ports in the US - just something that someone hung a pin on for the "news media"(yeah - they certainly aint reporters) to have a field day with to divert attention hopefully from another little more serious problem in Iraq - just another fun time provided by Rove and Associates.
As far as the security at Nuke plants - having worked at them for many years I kinda agree - the security forces suck and any real determined force could walk in there with no problem - but also knowing the workings and physics real well about a nuclear plant - I have no fears even if they did as there is nothing there that would cause any real harm to anyone - even if they managed to drain the entire fuel pool they would only kill themselves and a few workers at the plant - those things are so well shielded and so many (no personnel required) safeguards that you could walk into any of the office buildings on site with a full meltdown in progress and never be affected.
Unfortunately a few press and activist groups tended to paint a little different picture and got a little overboard during three mile island where the worst that happened is a person inside the plant got the amount of radiation equal to having one extra lung xray that year
Kinda helps to not believe everything you hear the press (why does that keep recurring as a theme?) put out in their scare tactics.
