Extra inspection isn't enough because of the sheer magnitude of containers entering the US from those ports.


That's a fake argument. We are the greatest technological advanced country on the face of the earth. Yet you say we can not figure out how to see what's inside a 10'by30' container made of sheet metal in a fast economical way? You position is we don't do it now so it can't be done. With that attitude we would not have won WW2 we would not have landed a man on the moon, we would not have created the Internet. Sure it will raise the cost but the cost is very small compared to what we would spend to rebuild one city. Look at NO.

That isn't my argument. My argument is that DPW can work in the US ports. Further, my position the US could do more in inspecting containers, but as of now, the technology isn't there. But just because the technology isn't there, you don't stop doing business with friendly governments and wreck the economy with the protectionist measures which you and your buddies are advocating.
