#7  Take the opening and move all American personnel out of Pakland in preparation for another 'Anabasis', this time a march to Indian Ocean. We know who the real enemy is. Time to act on it. Xenophon to the white courtesy phone.

#4  Change policy with the war on terror. Refuse to permit into the US any shipping containers that have been near any Muslim lands.....

Its better than an embargo!

Think about it..
Win for TSA
Win for WoT
Shippers decide if they prefer to do biz with the USA or Muzzie regions.... Let the market decide.

#1  The last time something like this happened, a border outpost was providing fire support for their jihadi brothers. The Pakis raised a stink until video of them firing on Americans was released.
