Actually, we know of one instance that occurred in Italy back in October. I remember the pics.

Business-Class Suspect Caught In Container (Terrorist?)

Put "container" in the FR search engine and you get lots of stories of illegals, especially Chinese, using the containers. Since only about 1 or 2 % of them are checked, the consequences are grave.

To be a cynic, if such is happening in America, it will not be publicized. Why? Because the people would demand that each container be checked and the various industries and import interests would lose a few dollars in time and corruption profits. Kind of like the "smart border" scam proposed for the Mexican border.

See my post #2O (we posted within a minute of each other). This stowaway was released from jail in November.

I happened to see a COSCO container ship sail into NYC harbor one day. Nothing unusual there, except for the timing. July 3, at 5 - 6 PM. Who's going to be working the docks then, the day before the 4th of July? And what was being unloaded while America was partying?

Ouch!
