It's to bad that containers can't all be opened and examined when they arrive.

Importers, especially electronics manufacturers, definitely don't share your disappointment. It would mean a massive increase in "shrinkage" of in-transit inventory. US Customs is increasingly moving to a known-shipper system whereby importers that voluntarily implement more procedural and security controls will be able to more easily import goods, leaving scrutiny to the other manufacturers. Search on C-TPAT for additional info.
