RE>> Could we require inspection and certification of containers at the loading port? << We must insist on it or we are sitting ducks..special seals that can't easily be duplicated on each inspected container.. ---------- Like each inspector would need a machine that could create a unique seal for all the containers on a ship..and then transmit that code back to the US..it would be extensive but it could be done. IF we don't get a handle on it then we can count on some serious problems. This Age of Terrorism is going to be with us for a long time , likely it will last as long as the cold war did. We won't be able to predict every twist and turn it will take, and thinking we can will be a big mistake but not inspecting ship cargo containers before they arrive is like inviting the enemy to deal us a devastating blow. They were smart enough to plan and hijack 4 planes within hours of one another, they could send us bombs via containers to dozens of ports at the same time with less planing than the hijackings took.
