Security review ordered for Canadian border

By Les Blumental | McClatchy Newspapers


WASHINGTON -- Just days after being sworn in, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano has ordered a comprehensive review of security efforts along the border between the United States and Canada.

Agencies ranging from Customs and Border Patrol to the Coast Guard to the Department of Homeland Security's intelligence branch have been asked to assess the vulnerabilities along the 4,000-mile northern border and recommend what can be done to improve security.

While most of the security attention has been focused on the southern border, the department has previously said the terrorist threat is greater on the U.S.-Canadian border given the large expanse with limited law enforcement coverage.

3. She can start by removing the passport requirement
The longest non-militarized border should stay that way.

4. They're planning something up there...
If you go to the UP at night, and listen closely, you can hear them, sharpening their hockey sticks...

5. Buying into the terrorist insanity...jeez.
You wait..
now that Bush is gone, there will be "terrorist" attacks.
Well funded ones.
And it will be allllllllll Obama's fault.

Yet...strangely....despie all the warnings about "unspecified" information of an Inauguration attack, threats of searches, attempts to limit bathrooms and water and damn near anything else that would make the experience half assed pleasant for the attendees, not only were there
NO
incidents, most of the "security" was nowhere to be found.
Not even an arrest for littering.

Wonder if people are seeing the pattern yet?
