Port Security Bill to Be Signed Into Law Next Week

It was announced today that President George W. Bush will sign the Port Security Bill into law next Friday, October 13.

The SAFE port act (the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act) was one of Congress' final actions before breaking for the November mid-term elections.

The legislation, part of an election-year focus on national security issues, is designed to keep nuclear, chemical or biological weapons out of shipping containers on their way to the U.S and was passed by both the House and Senate in the midnite hours last Friday.

The Act also includes language that makes it a federal crime for banking institutions to allow illegal gambling financial transactions. The new bill does not change any laws pertaining to the Wire Act which only says that sports betting is illegal.
