[AT] Portland Info

Charlie -

Exactly. The politicians went deaf. Ahh, all for the love of corporate 
profits and re-election war chests.

Theory is the EABs arrived here in some of the abundant imported wood 
products that wind up freighted from one continent to another, dropping a 
load here and a load there. Scary part is I read where only about 2% of 
those huge containers stacked aboard incoming ocean freighters are inspected 
properly at our ports. Nice stat to pass along to terrorists, huh?
