not far from charleston international airport. it is just off interstate 526. >> if you bring 30 to 60 enemy terrorists, you are also tracking their friends and supporters. so, you are putting a target on the back of a community. you are also going to have to upgrade a medium security facility, which will cost upwards of $100 million. geoff: governor nikki haley says she will fight the move
