Pick up phone, call DHS - hey you know how you have a $100 billion budget and are supposed to monitor transportation security? We are about to transport something highly radioactive near your border, just thought you should know.
It would be the most closely watched transport ever.
In fact I am curious why the NSA didn't know about it and tell someone.
- seszett 13y agoThe place where this happened it about a thousand kilometers from the US border. It is nowhere near the US, unless you somehow consider that all of Mexico should be monitored by DHS (and all of Canada too).
- nkurz 13y agoI agree with your sentiment, but although it was hijacked near Mexico City, 'nowhere near' seems a bit overstated: "stolen earlier in the week in a carjacking as the material was being moved from a public hospital in the border town of Tijuana to a storage facility in central Mexico, news reports said."
- tedunangst 13y agoLittle known fact: The Constitution-free zone that extends 100 miles inside the border extends 1000 miles outside the border.
- brazzy 13y ago> It would be the most closely watched transport ever. No. It would be one of thousands of such transports ocurring every year. A routine operation, not worth anyone's attention until the unexpected happened.
