Got to hand it to the Fed bureaucrats- 1/2 % of containers get scanned for Nuke content before shipping ; and the DHS reports that 99% of containers are scanned on arrival and there are no cases of finding Nuke materials in US ports so there is no threat. But would they find anything?:
Meanwhile every 3 year old and 93 year old and everyone in between practically has to strip down to their skivvies, gets scanned, X-rayed, patted down and generally hassled just trying to get on the shuttle flight to NYC from Logan. (Make sure that you don't take more than 3oz of shampoo aboard that flight- you might be a security risk!)

"The DHS says monitors scan 99 percent of the containers for radiation after they arrive at U.S. ports. But experts say the monitors at U.S. ports are not sophisticated enough to detect nuclear devices or highly enriched uranium, which emit low levels of radiation."
