"Ocean-going cargo is the critical link in the United States' economic supply chain--as well as the most effective delivery vehicle for a terrorist-inspired weapon of mass destruction.
A WMD-laden container ship entering Los Angeles, Seattle or New York would be enough to bring the entire U.S. economy grinding to a halt--whether successfully detonated or not. Either way, the impact would be devastating economically and politically both here and abroad."
Other than the mention of the over-used acronym "WMD", this is a good article on the possible implementation of RFID to be used on ocean going cargo. These tags are a good use of technology - as long as they are implanted only in products and not used for human tracking such as the idiotic InClass RFID scenario. It's the same as treating people like cattle. Ludicrous.
