A Senate committee is about to issue a report that says that FEMA is totally a hopeless mess, and would be better off being scrapped and something new put in its place.
In the relevant House committee, the Republicans shot down a bill that would have had every container coming into US parts scanned for radiological weapons. Why? Industry doesn't want it. Too bothersome, costs too much to do. Funny that Hong Kong, one of the busiest ports on Earth, does it every day, but - hey, this is America, and we need security (but not if it's too much trouble to big business).
