Cay: ... Two if by sea

Last week Captain John Hewlett, a guest speaker at an International Maritime Security and Port Facility Code (ISPS) Awareness and Implementation Seminar, in the twin-island Federation of Antigua & Barbuda, stated that US intelligence suggests that the next major terrorist attack could be on cruise ships.

He was quoted as saying, “The target intelligence suggests that there is going to be a lot of attacks against Americans outside the US, in countries friendly to the US … and the problem is, it is very important for us … intelligence suggests the next major attack is going to be on a cruise ship and we really hope and pray that it does not happen in the Caribbean.”

Caribbean governments are moving full speed ahead to meet the July 1 mandatory deadline to become ISPS compliant with reference to port facility security. Will all ports in the region be able to meet the deadline approximately 10 weeks away?

I wonder what Michael Burke will recommend if such happens to be the case?
