    "If you build it, they will come" -- that might be said about cargo screening facilities. Constructing these detection stations overseas will be costly, but will also provide needed jobs for those people using the equipment. It's been more than five years since 9/11, and we still haven't figured it out -- we're at war! Of course the shipping industry is against any meaningful inspections. That's true at land borders and airports as well. But the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the greed of the few.
