There must be a reason

why the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will give Boston substantially less money for security enhancements than it will give Portland, Me. Boston will receive $147,750, Portland $768,750. Boston is the only major port which has LNG tankers enter its harbor.

DHS has some way of ranking risks. For this type of grant, Boston, the eleventh largest container port in the country, has the same rank as Huntington, WV, which is landlocked.

I guess it all make sense to someone.
