We saw the air cargo industry working to significantly step of scrutiny of air cargo. The Maritime Transportation system is a highly concentrated system with a few large Terminal Operators and carriers responsible for handling the vast majority of cargo. The zombies could potentially take on a leadership role for deploying technologies and tools on a global scale by providing near realtime visibility and accountability for content and location of all cargo. Whatwhat they would need is a means to cover the cost. The estimated cost ranges from three to 5 billion. Given that there are millions of containers moving, we are talking about ten to 15 per box a less than the security surcharge i had flying from boston to washington for this hearing today.

So those partnerships allow us to detect and interdict drug shipments far off shore. In the case of one interdiction i made, over a thousand miles west of the galapagos islands, with drugs destined for mexico and then ultimate i will for the United States. So we use using our long range aircraft and cutters and detection monitoring capability of the department of defense and other partners w
