We make the judgments based upon the security measures that are in place, the risk that's assessed, coordination with the other government?and I think we've made some really good decisions. |
We measure very carefully what the positives are and I think it is less than one tenth of one percent, so we are very pleased with the accuracy of our biometric checks and we continue to monitor that. |
We need to learn from their experience. And we need to look in Arkansas at how we can lower the number of uninsured. |
We recognize that it is not only inbound but also outbound (cargo) that can pose a risk as well. |
We recognize the security benefit for surveillance and sophisticated software that would use that surveillance. |
We should have been more careful as far as releasing that, |
We will be prepared when the trial commences in the Senate to go forward with the evidence, to present witnesses and to present a case that they can make a good judgment on. |
We would certainly welcome the recipient nation to put their inspectors on our shores, if they wanted to make that investment to help protect that shipment that is outgoing. |
