Eighty cosponsors. Passed our committee 290. There is a dispute with respect to this particular technology. and I might just refer you to the National Journal of this last week talking about this very issue. It said. nice idea. but not very feasible with current technology. Eleven million containers are shipped to the U.S. ports each year. Of those. U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel physically screen. that means inspect. only about 6 percent. or 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.
