"MISPLACED PRIORITIES. Installing enough scanners to bring 100% screening capability to U.S. shipments traversing the world's 60 largest ports would cost $500 million to $600 million, less than the cost of a week's operations in Iraq. Extending the program to cover air cargo and other key means for moving goods would cost several billion more. Yet such a capability could provide far better visibility into U.S. transportation systems and their vulnerabilities to terrorist attacks.
