U.S. Customs was hit bad on that day.

Homeland Security applied so many changes on how things are to be imported from Asia.

A 24 hour notification must be submitted if any cargo is to load a Vessel or an Airplane. That 24 Hour Automated Manifest System AKA AMS is supposed to make sure that NO cargo gets to leave the original port if it has not been manifested, but saddly it does still. Also there is such a big loop hole with what Homeland Security set up with AMS, it isnt even funny due to the Trillions spent by our Government and associated parties to some how make this work.

U.S. Customs can only randomly X-ray so many Containers that come in, 3/4 of the containers go unchecked....then the paper work being submitted can be so fake, it can still be signed off by a lazy inspector.

Not that I want to scare any one, but our ports is open and our Inspectors need to be re-trained and micro managed IMHO. If a few shipments that I personally thought should not of cleared so easily, I can only imagine how many more just slip under their noses every hour of the day.

Flights are non stop in the international trade zones. Believe that Florida has the best Airline Security compared to ORD, JFK and LAX.
