About the cruise ship security bill
Cruise Ship Security Bill Passed (POLL)

<...>

On Wednesday, the Senate passed the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act, which had broad bipartisan support in the House (don't really know how you could be against it).

The bill requires peepholes on cabin doors, rails no lower than 42 inches and information packets on how to report crimes, among other points. Ships built after the bill's passing will need to be equipped with security latched and time-sensitive key technology.

The bill, which was authored by Democrats Rep. Doris Matsui and Sen. John Kerry, applies to all ships that dock in U.S. ports.

<...>


Not understanding why there is a poll linked to this?
