Do you actually know how many containers get inspected? It is less than 10% according to Fox News. Does that concern you?

Another red herring. If they're inspected and documented AT THE SOURCE, how many of them do we necessarily need to inspect at this end? Certainly the ones where paperwork snafus show up or from certain "critical" areas, but every one?

That's like taking every single piece of work you've ever performed and doing a full audit on it. Not necessary, not to mention a waste of time and effort.

it's nowhere near 10%. I have read closer to 2%. The real problem is getting things inspected OVERSEAS. Not in US ports. Once they are on a ship heading to a US port its too late. What good are inspections of 2% of containers if the nuke is set off prior to inspections in NY harbor?
