They say. and this is the National Journal. that "it is a nice idea but not very feasible with current technology. Eleven million containers are shipped to U.S. ports each year. Of those. U.S. Customs and border protection personnel physically screen only about 6 percent. 660.000. It is a noble impulse. but as a practical matter. it cant be accomplished right now. said Jack Riley. homeland security expert with RAND." The key to being able to carry this out in the future is better equipment that stands faster. and that requirement. that impulse. is in this bill as a result of an amendment adopted that was presented by the gentlewoman from Florida. We are attempting to make us safer.
