Although general Port Security contract processes have become an enormous issue, Strategy X experts believe that other areas of physical security at the ports are being overlooked.

A Strategy X expert stated the following, "It seems the focus here is ensuring that dangerous materials are not brought into the country through the ports. That is very important, but there are other areas of concern that we feel are being overlooked. Terrorist organizations focus on easy targets that provide the biggest bang for their buck. Attacking the natural resources coming into the country would have a huge impact on the nation's economy as well as creating public safety and environmental issues. Everyday our ports bring in large amounts of petroleum, natural gas as well as other hazardous cargo. An attack on these resources could cause an economic ripple that would be felt throughout the country. A simple ground-based attack could create big problems at any unsecured Unsecured

 port. This huge political issue has raised many questions, the number one question being the security of the United State ports."

Another Strategy X expert added the following, "Physical security at all US ports requires equal attention. We understand and appreciate the threat of terrorists smuggling smuggling, illegal transport across state or national boundaries of goods or persons liable to customs or to prohibition. Smuggling has been carried on in nearly all nations and has occasionally been adopted as an instrument of national policy, as by Great Britain  materials through the ports, but we feel there are other issues just as important. A terrorist organization could attack port storage facilities or pipelines and create massive disorder. Our capabilities and expertise in performance-based physical security can gauge the effectiveness of their existing security plans and systems, and where necessary test and design systems to meet security needs at any location. We are currently watching the situation and are in talks with those within the government that can point us in the right direction. We look forward to getting involved and are prepared to help the Homeland Security effort to progress the US in security efforts from the ground up."
