Speaking before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee on Wednesday, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said that her department will miss the July 2012 deadline for screening all shipping containers bound for U.S. ports for radiation. Napolitano, as allowed for by the law, will seek a two-year extension in order to reach the 100% scanning goal.
In relation to Secretary Napolitano's statement about missing the deadline, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released this report Wednesday detailing some of the problems Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has encountered in implementing the Secure Freight Initiative (SFI) at select foreign ports.
