" WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush signed legislation Friday that intensifies the anti-terrorism effort at home, shifting money to high-risk states and cities and expanding scrutiny of air and sea cargo.
The bill elevates the importance of risk factors in determining which states and cities get federal security funds. That would mean more money for such cities as New York and Washington. It also puts money into a new program to ensure that security officials at every level can communicate with each other.
It requires screening of all cargo on passenger planes within three years and sets a five-year goal of scanning all container ships for nuclear devices before they leave foreign ports." Funding bigger cities, such as New York, is a great idea becuase those cities are the main target for terrorism attacks.

Its great that at least we can be safe in our own country. We wouldn't want the war to be brought over here. Increased security at airports is fine by me. I don't care if I have to wait an extra 30 minutes as long as I know that it will be a safe trip.
