Absolutely correct, every container contains an Al Qaeda nuke.

No, of course not. But if you're only checking 5% of containers, you're not creating much of a disincentive for Al Qaeda to try to smuggle in nukes that way. And passive radiation detectors might work --- or they might not.

Does it make sense to strip-search Jewish grandmas in wheelchairs before they board a plane? Should we search 100% of the passengers?
