Maritime Professional - Sanity prevails as US backpedals on box screening: "So the US Department of Homeland Security have finally wised up. It took them long enough, but eventually they have arrived at the conclusion that it will not be possible to meet their deadline for the screening of all import containers.
The magic was supposed to happen in 2012 when every ocean container travelling across sea to shining sea and being imported into the US, a huge portion from China, would enter the country having been screened at some point along the journey.
This, it now turns out, is impossible."
