News release: “Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, ID-Conn., and Ranking Member Susan Collins, R-Me., reacted Wednesday to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report that found that large foreign ports have been unable to scan anywhere near 100 percent of freight passing through those ports, as Congress has required. GAO found that although Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been able to scan a majority of the cargo passing through low-volume ports, it has been able to scan no more than 5 percent of freight coming into large ports, necessitating an extension of the 2012 deadline for 100 percent scanning at major ports.”
