The 100% being checked was from a port guy being interviewed on Fox.

Like I said, it depends on what one means by "being checked." Ship manifests are reviewed before the ship docks - 100%.

Correct but don't forget the majority will be shipments from shippers that have been sending similar cargo for many years.

I am certain the physical inspection 5% are from new shippers and random searches.

"Scanned for Radiation" is what the head of DHS or the Coast Guard said on Tony Snow's show. Kind of hard to scan for radiation by reading a manifest. "The 100% of the manifests is scanned" was a Senator's Talking Point in the Hearings that has been picked up and used by the Port Critics to attack the facts.

Where is the documentation for the statement that "Scanning means reading a manifest"? There has been a nasty habit of the Port Deal Critics making statements of "Fact" that turn out to be false or misleading. I suggest we take none of their "Facts" as gospel until we independently verify them.
