Houston Chronicle, April 30, 2005"The Port of Houston ranks first in foreign waterborne commerce entering the United States, and is home to the largest petrochemical complex in the world. Fewer than 5 percent of containers shipped to the United States today are physically inspected. Fewer than 10 percent of containers are scanned for radiation, x-rayed or fitted with tamper-resistant locks and electronic tracking.
