Unfortunately, this is a very clear demonstration that freight cargo is not X-rayed. Makes you feel really comfortable, don't it.

Bill Maher has mentioned this a couple times lately on his show on HBO. Freight cargo is not x-rayed. Period. At least according to him...I'd like to see the actual regulations on this.

That just doesn't make ANY sense at all .......

I assume that this is only national freight and not international freight ??
