Wolf Eagle,I am sympathetic to many of your criticisms about Homeland Security. Even in light of yor valid criticisms, the Arctic and Bering Strait coasts are vulnerable to maritime catastrophes and terror campaigns against watercraft and shore-side assets of national import. Even having an ability to suppress terror acts that, if successful, would mainly amount to a public relations fiasco for the U.S. and a huge win for our enemies is worth a substantial national capital outlay. If a port were sited at Cape Blossom, it could also be used to train personnel from many agencies in emergency search & rescue, ship disaster response, oil spill response and pehaps be useful too for training Coast Guard, Navy, Marine and other units in Arctic operations. The DoD already has a military reservation between Kotzebue and Cape Blossom, with high ground capable of supporting buildings for two or three decades, maybe. Perhaps the cost is justifiable to build at Cape Blossom. We live close to there.
