| 摘要： | Tells of millions of shipping containers enter U.S. seaports every year carrying commerce surpassing 1.5 trillion dollars in value. As a result, the maritime shipping industry offers an attractive channel for terrorist organizations to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the U.S., or to cripple the U.S. economy by directly attacking major ports and maritime infrastructure. In order to prevent such an event from occurring, the Department of Homeland Security has initialed the SAFECON and TRUST programs aimed at improving security measures to detect anomalous goods such as these threats in container air. These programs are working to develop aggressive solutions that minimize any disruption to the flow of commerce by identifying or developing air-sample based sensors that can be installed on port gantry cranes or housed within shipping containers themselves. |
