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 didn't mention an unrelated provision that seeks to put teeth into laws that forbid most online gambling. Instead, Bush focused on the multiple ways the legislation tightens security and closes a loophole in anti-terror defenses, especially at ports.

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.

"We'll do everything we can to prevent an attack, but if the terrorists succeed in launching an attack, we'll be ready to respond," Bush said.

The president said the bill codifies the Container Security Initiative, which deploys U.S. inspectors to dozens of foreign ports on five continents where they can screen cargo bound for the United States. He said it also codifies the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, a joint public-private sector initiative in which private shippers agree to improve their own security measures and in return can receive benefits, including expedited clearance through U.S. ports.

Bush also noted that the bill provides additional authority for the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, which was established to guard against the threat of terrorists smuggling a nuclear device into the country. And the act requires the Department of Homeland Security to establish a plan to speed the resumption of trade in the event of a terrorist attack on a U.S. port or waterway.

"This bill makes clear that the federal government has the authority to clear waterways, identify cleanup equipment and re-establish the flow of commerce following a terrorist attack," the president said.

He did not talk about the online gambling portion of the bill...however now that it is passed anything can happen I guess.

I'm sure that books can still advertise like bodog and paradise poker do on tv. Change the .com to .net and provide free posker and betting sites that link to real money. That was the smartest shit I ever seen. Kudo's to Paradise for the long line of folks it created. Muey intelijente

lets see how my next cashout goes. I plan on cashing out on Monday for the first time since the end of basketball season. 5 dimes says it will continue its operations for US customers as well. I'm going to use Moneybookers as my intermediary. Flat Rate of 1.8 Euros isn't bad at all.

Sorry Johnny and K-9, had to get rid of those posts. Hope ya understand. I did'nt make the rule, but I have to enforce it. I agree that this rule is in fact a good one. It has caused way too many problems in the past and disrupts the normal flow of this forum. Once again, sorry.

You will find that the MOD’s are very patient! We would rather that you stay than go. If you give us no other choice, you will be gone!

We have a lot of posters here that have their own cliques. Please make sure that when you joke with someone, they are a friend of yours. This has caused problems in the past! You might think the poster knows your joking but in fact they take it the wrong way! If you want to joke around and call each other names make sure your both on the same level! You can have fun without bashing someone.

DO NOT Post in the main forums if you are posting in the service section!

DO NOT Post www buttons if you are posting in the Main forums.

DO make this the best site and year ever at UC. It takes more effort to be an asshole that it does to be nice.

If you came here from another forum we welcome you here and want you to have an enjoyable time. Please leave you past record there. Your starting a new and clean slate here and so is your YTD.
