It is not uncommon for cargo to be hijacked or lost. particularly in the staging areas at our Nations portsofentry. The potential theft of uniforms. badges or ID cards. by the truckload it could be. poses a clear threat. In years past. there have been several reports on the overseas manufacture of uniforms for the Department of Homeland Securitys operational components. Indeed. most Americans would be shocked to learn that Border Patrol uniforms have been manufactured in Mexico and other countries. This ongoing practice raises legitimate security concerns. not only at the border but all across this country. which is what this provision addresses. For that reason.
