Obama's national security plan seems to be lacking

Barack Obama | Change We Can Believe In | Homeland

Reading through his plan for "national security" I see a glaring hole. What about those shipping containers? Is he for scanning, searching them?

His plan to me seems more of a disaster support plan and a a chemical cleanup plan than an actual national security plan.

I mean what abou the borders Obama? This is more than an immigration issue.

Monitor our Ports: Despite the 9/11 Commission’s strong recommendation that the government significantly improve port security, the Bush Administration underfunded security at the nation's ports by more than $1 billion for fiscal year 2005. Barack Obama has been a consistent supporter of strengthening our port security, and has voted for efforts to mandate screening of all inbound cargo to the U.S., improve scanning of cargo at foreign ports, and promote greater sharing of shipping data across nations.

You sure you read through his plan? Because this was on the link :

I must have missed it. Oh well. anyways.

How would he facilitate doing this? What agency and at what costs. How much of a priority is this for him?

Improve Border Security: Americans know that our national border security system is broken, leaving our country vulnerable. Barack Obama has been a consistent advocate of strengthening our borders and has voted to transfer $367.6 million to add an additional 1,000 border agents to our nation’s most vulnerable areas as well as increase funding overall for border protection efforts. Obama also believes that border security extends beyond our land borders and that increased federal attention must be paid to those who enter our borders by water and air. Obama supports comprehensive immigration reform to ensure that we truly find a solution to this critical issue.
