Only 2 percent of cargo containers entering America’s ports are ever inspected. And the inspections performed are often unreliable. For instance, ABC News, as part of an investigative story, shipped a container full of depleted uranium to a New York port. There were sufficient red flags to make it one of the one in 50 containers singled out for examination. Had radiation detectors been used, they would have indicated a problem. But they were not.
