If I remember correctly it was also mentioned on Hannity and Colmes when they visited the ports that all containers are scanned for radiation and 5% are physically inspected.
Having worked in exports for over 25 years I am impressed that 5% are inspected in my 25 years I think only 3 of my shipments and it may only be 2 have ever been physically inspected.

Having worked in exports for over 25 years I am impressed that 5% are inspected in my 25 years I think only 3 of my shipments and it may only be 2 have ever been physically inspected. A caller to a local radio show here in Baltimore tried to educate the host and the audience a bit about the physical inspections on the receiving end. These inspections are flagged for inspection by govt agents, but the cost of the extra scanning and/or total inspection is paid for by the receiver of the goods, $150 for the diversion to the scanning machine; $600 for the hands on inspection; another $150 for something else. This guy said he had 5 out of 8 containers flagged and phoned an influential local ex-congresswoman to find out why.
I am watching the replay of Timmy with Edwards. I wish that people who know nothing would not open their mouths. Edwards is too stupid to be on a Sunday show. At least Kemp is supporting reality.
