Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags & Their Implication to Container Security.

摘要

From a security standpoint, the state of container security throughout this nation and the world's ports is frightening. The situation has been well documented and is receiving support throughout Congress to increase funding for related research projects. Regrettably, due to the physical, political, and economic complexity of the system, research is virtually all that has been done to physically secure individual containers. While Customs and Border Patrol have launched a series of programs to increase the 'layers of defense' at U.S. ports (e.x. C-TPAT and CSI), the actual projects of Operation Safe Commerce and their current status remain undisclosed, and our ports remain unprotected.
