All I am saying is the ports don't have to OPEN the containers to see what's inside. They are x-rayed

I'm curious on what the x-rays are designed to detect?

Shapes and densities they get a manifest with a description of what's in the container. Then they xray it to see if there are any anomalies.

Like I said before, I am in ports ALL OVER THE COUNTRY on a regular basis. Those shipping containers are x-rayed upon entering AND leaving.

the government sites don't seem to agree. While all containers are scanned, looking for such obvious dangers such as signs of radio-activity, only about 5% actually get x-rayed.
from the CBO.GOV site regarding budgets: CBP identifies about 5 percent of all seaborne containers entering the United States as high risk, although only a fraction of those are flagged for national security reasons. For that 5 percent, CBP uses nonintrusive inspection devices to image the contents with X-rays or gamma rays. (the CBP is Customs and Border Protection)

The same site further states: (CBP does not routinely scan or image containers that leave the United States.)

The Budget Office notes that at a cost of between $150 to $220 per container for scanning, ramping up to 100% would add billions in freight costs each year, besides slowing things down even more.
