Remember when Congress, you know, enacted new laws? Well, it turns out they're getting back into the swing of things now that the Dems have control.

Voting 299 to 128, congressional Democrats, backed by scores of Republicans, delivered on a key part of their "100 hours" agenda. The nearly 300-page anti-terrorism measure sets new mandates to scrutinize air- and ship-borne cargo, send more federal aid to areas at the greatest risk of terrorism, improve emergency communications, fight nuclear proliferation overseas, and strengthen a civil liberties watchdog board.

Wouldn't it be great if they could keep up this pace (the whole 5 day work week, etc.) for beyond the first 100 hours?

And why are people concerned that it's "too expensive" to do port security? I for one would feel safer if every cargo container was inspected.
