Homeland insecurity  To support homeland security, port
officials and shippers are supposedly tightening the gaps along
the nation's waterways.  But a Federal Computer Week staffer
recently spotted some security lapses while traveling on the
Cape May-Lewes ferry across the Delaware Bay. Passengers
traveling from Cape May, N.J., to Lewes, Del., were required to
empty their pockets and pass through a metal detector. But
passengers heading north from Delaware to New Jersey were
allowed to walk onto the ferry without a second glance from the
ticket   "We're exploring the option of getting another unit,"
said Jim Salmon, spokesman for the Delaware River and Bay
Authority. But he said the authority lacks the money to buy
another metal detector to screen the annual traffic of 1.1
million passengers and 350,000 vehicles.  Instead, three bomb-
sniffing dogs search all commercial vehicles and randomly search
passenger vehicles before they are loaded onto the ferries. A
few plainclothes security officers are onboard, too
