I wouldn't be surprised if DPW purchases the lacking radiation detection equipment for its own terminals just to cover such a possibility - that would be ONE new positive in the switch from British to Dubai company.
There are many reports that the radiation detection is easily circumvented through heavy lead shielding, and that "NEST" teams effectiveness is highly overrated...a shot in the dark-last hope.
Intel and finding the correct cargo container out of millions may be the only way. The US actually, physically opens and checks less than 2 or 3 percent of cargo containers...and at random?
I don't get warm-fuzzys about a state run UAE company having ANY operational control over ship-manifests of cargo arriving into the US.
Saudi Arabia is our ally too...give them operational control over the rest of our ports.
Can you spell madrassas.

Well, UAE has signed on to stricter load point requirements too - we shall see.
