Coast Guard to Track Ships Using Buoys

nomrniceguy writes "The Coast Guard plans to use dozens of buoys off the U.S. coast to extend the reach of a security system that monitors large vessels heading in and out of ports. The buoys are intended to extend the network's reach -- the Guard now receives the automated data only when a vessel is within about 25 miles of a port. The floating transmitters will relay the information from hundreds of miles off shore, from the middle of Lake Superior and off coastlines from Alaska to Maine."

    If this... if that.... The government certainly has you singing to their tune with the war on terror. Si

    Naa...we don't need better ID on airline passengers. Every hijacking has just resulted in landing somewhere, so we can storm the plane, and shoot or arrest them.
    Naa...we don't need better security inspections on passengers getting on a plane. No one would ever think of putting explosives in his shoes.
    Naa...we don't better security around public buildings. No one would ever think of blowing one of those up.

    If terrorists were to attack, do you not think they would of done it by now?

    They have. The Coast Guard, etc. is just trying to prevent the next one.
