I don't know what I think of this whole situation but NOYB's post of the
Steve Schippert article was about the cleanest summary that makes sense of
all the wild stories.


That article raised a question to me. It seemed to state that the Coast
Guard inspects the ships and containers before they get to port. I've
seen loaded container ships. Those containers are stacked quite high, and
quite tightly. I'm wondering how it's possible to inspect containers on a
loaded ship. Anyone know?

If interested, a whole bunch of container ship pictures can be accessed

My home port is one of the 'CSI" ports and the US pushed us into buying
one of those mobile giant container scanning machines a few years back.
