Jittery Americans still ill-prepared for disaster


STEPHEN HANDELMAN

On any given day, 15 million shipping containers are in transit around the world, the workhorses of a global bazaar that most of us depend upon for the goods that prop up our lives. Could one of those containers carry a secret nuclear device? Would anyone find it?

If you don't enjoy losing sleep about such questions, you probably don't want to spend much time around Stephen Flynn, a former U.S. Coast Guard commander who has spent the past five years investigating North America's defences against crime and terrorism.

"On any given day, 15 million shipping containers are in transit around the world ..."

If the UN really wanted to do any good why don't they start searching these instead of the nonsense they are involved in (but of course they won't since their covert function seems to undermine us.) There is a serious need for oversight of all shipping containers by some entity that is on our side...until they are really searched we are vulnerable.
