   Uh, yeah, whoever that guy is, he’s a raving lunatic. I studied international trade law in the mid-’90s, and I don’t remember spending a whole lot of time on FTZs, but I do know that FTZs are a hell of a lot more innocuous than that paranoid rant makes them out to be. They’re duty-free zones, nothing more, as I recall. It’s a way to encourage international trade in an area and maybe avoid the “giant sucking sound.” All the garbage about domestic FTZs being “foreign territory” is utter claptrap.

   Now, are they effective, or good policy, or the protectionist equivalent of Obamacare waivers for the favored few? I dunno. That’s a policy debate. But an invasion conspiracy they’re not.

   A Chinese national company is interested in developing a 10,000- to 30,000-acre technology zone for industry, retail centers and homes south of the Boise Airport.

   The technology zone proposal follows a model of science, technology and industrial parks in China — often fully contained cities with all services included.

   (I am sure these are not work camps, our leaders always have our best interest in mind. Remember, “Arbeit Macht Frei”)
