NEW YORK: Every day, every container must be inspected by Federal officers from US Customs and Border Protection.
“We are responsible for knowing what’s inside the containers, whether it poses a risk to the American people,” said Marc Hurteau, Area Port Director from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The containers are inspected for counterfeit goods, drugs and scanned by Homeland Security trucks with sophisticated equipment for radioactive chemicals that could be used by a terrorist.
