WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional investigators on Wednesday said they have found serious shortcomings in post-Sept. 11 programs aimed at stopping weapons of mass destruction from arriving at U.S. seaports.
Following a 20-month investigation that took U.S. Senate and House of Representatives officials to shipping ports from Rotterdam to Singapore, officials found that only a tiny portion of the containers destined for U.S. ports were being inspected.
"Only one-third of one percent of all containers" were inspected at 36 foreign ports that participate in a Container Security Initiative that the United States launched in 2002, according to a congressional aide who briefed reporters.
Of cargo deemed "high-risk," only 17.5 percent was inspected before leaving overseas ports, the congressional findings said.
