This is a key element and I am hopeful the Secretary will take this action. We cannot inspect every piece of cargo. or our international commerce as we know it today would come to a grinding halt. However. if we have better technology. such as a seal which is tamperproof. we will know when the contents of the cargo have been altered. My amendment would add to the numbers of Customs and Border Protection officers. A thousand new officers. when you have more than 360 federally regulated ports in this country. is not asking a lot. We must do more.
