There are so many shipping containers that come and go on a daily basis, that it is staggering to think of checking each one. However, a noteworthy worry is that terrorists will find a way to smuggle a nuclear weapon through a shipping container via our ports of entry. Given that it is not feasible to check each container and keep freight moving, how can we make sure that the ports are safe and that which comes in an out of the country this way is not a threat?
