Lou Dobbs got it done in Congress

Wow, see what Lou Dobbs and six years in Congress gets done,

WASHINGTON - President Bush signed a bill Friday to help prevent terrorists from sneaking a nuclear, chemical or germ weapon into the United States inside one of the 11 million shipping containers that enter the nation each year — many without inspection.
We're going to protect our ports. We're going to defend this homeland, and we're going to win this war on terror," Bush said.
The president used the bill-signing ceremony to assert that Republicans are tough on terror, a key issue in congressional elections just less than four weeks away.
He noted that the SAFE Port Act authorizes the development of high-tech inspection equipment so customs agents can check cargo containers for dangerous materials without having to open them. It requires radiation-detection technology at 22 of the nation's busiest ports by the end of next year.
My own words follow. Note the words above "authorizes the development of high-tech inspection equipment". This means they don't have it now. It is also known that the science should always come first before the development. Hey Lou Dobbs. Can you tell me? Do we have the science?
