The Innerloc Solution

NEED FOR NEW TECHNOLOGIES
Despite the terrorist threat, U.S. Customs personnel spot-check less than two percent of the cargo moving through American ports. The volume of traffic makes it simply impossible to inspect everything. With current technology, examining even a small percentage more would slow commerce intolerably.

Leading thinkers on the issue have proposed setting up “green lanes” for certain types of shipments. They would include those that authorities knew came from trusted sources and that had not been opened in transit.

This requires a foolproof way to guarantee that containers from those trusted sources have not been opened in transit. If such a method existed, authorities could green light those shipments while focusing their time and attention on more dubious shipments. Locks and indicator seals do little but slow down thieves or terrorists. Both can easily be replaced to create a false sense of security until the cargo reaches its destination. By then, however, it’s too late.
