This may have been responded to already,
but long-distance trucks have cellphone GPS-based tracking systems, which could be slapped on containers, I'm guessing for a couple grand each, max. Compared to the cost of the container that's not much. It's the ramp-up for millions of containers that would be the challenge

You could add sensors to determine tampering, even sound and video monitoring of certain cargo, like hazardous materials etc.

We need leadership in the Homeland Defense area to get production organized. Nobody's home yet.
