Three Brooklyn fishermen breached Kennedy Airport security in August ("'I was hoping somebody would drive up to us and say, "Hey guys, what are you doing here?" And when that didn't happen we just kept walking.' They kept walking for nearly an hour, past the runways, past the jets, and they were never stopped or questioned once because, apparently, no one ever knew they were there"). A guy shipped himself from Newark to Dallas a couple of days ago, undetected, on a cargo plane ("Airport lighting in cargo areas sometimes consists of a Coleman generator with a light stand on it....There may be a chain link fence with a lock. There may or may not be a guard"). And now ABC News slips depleted uranium past Customs (on a ship from Indonesia) -- even though the network did essentially the same thing a year ago and reported it.

Tomorrow is September 11. Feel safe?
