Maybe having Dubai Ports running things wasn't such a bad idea...?

do you have any idea how many of those 40-ft. containers go in and out of the u.s. on a daily basis...? conservatively, i would peg it at least in the low 6 figures...

these poor folks just so happened to get caught...

Twenty-two Chinese nationals were in custody Wednesday after they apparently let themselves out of a 40-foot cargo container that had been used to smuggle them from China, officials said.

The 18 men and four women, all believed to be in their 20s and 30s, seemed to be in good physical condition after about two weeks in the container, said Michael Milne, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Port of Seattle security guards spotted the group about 1 a.m.

Milne said there was no evidence of "any real criminal or terrorist activity ... just an alien smuggling operation."

oh, just your garden variety alien smuggling operation... oh, well then... clearly nothing to be concerned about...
