Who are you Osman bin nowhere? Jihad's not my bag, baby. But even the border police admit that fewer than three in ten containers get inspected due to a lack of manpower and the pressing need to keep things moving. Yes the Americans got very worried about it after 9/11.

I had a spell on container work about six or seven years ago and must have pulled a hundred or so containers out of Southampton, Thamesport and Felixstowe and I never once picked one up which had had an open-door inspection. You'd be able to tell because the original seal would have been replaced by an HMRC seal. I imagine the three in ten referenced are X-ray scanned at most.

Hope they give them a once-over with a geiger counter...🥺
