The Container Security Initiative is the most topical AFF ever. Customs searches cargo in other countries without any probable cause. The resolution does not say where it must be. You all are idiots.
The Container Security Initiative (CSI) was launched in 2002 by the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Its purpose was to increase security for container cargo shipped to the United States. As the CBP puts it, the intent is to "extend [the] zone of security outward so that American borders are the last line of defense, not the first." 2002(MMII) is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

CSI core elements CSI consists of four core elements: - Using intelligence and automated information to identify and target containers that pose a risk for terrorism.
- Pre-screening those containers that pose a risk at the port of departure before they arrive at U.S. ports.
- Using detection technology to quickly pre-screen containers that pose a risk. See Gamma ray detector
- Using smarter, tamper-evident containers.
The initial CSI program has focused on implementation at the top 20 ports shipping approximately two-thirds of the container volume to the United States. Smaller ports, however, have been added to the program at their instigation, and participation is open to any port meeting certain volume, equipment, procedural, and information-sharing requirements. Future plans include expansion to additional ports based on volume, location, and strategic concerns. This article is about electromagnetic radiation. ...
Global impact The CSI program offers its participant countries the reciprocal opportunity to enhance their own incoming shipment security. CSI partners can send their customs officers to major U.S. ports to target ocean-going, containerized cargo to be exported from the U.S. to their countries. Likewise, CBP shares information on a bilateral basis with its CSI partners. Japan and Canada are currently taking advantage of this reciprocity.
