Colombo begins CSI operations
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said a small team of officers is working in the port of Colombo, Sri Lanka, to assist with outbound screening of select cargo containers.
Colombo is the 40th port to become operational under the Container Security Initiative, a U.S. effort to push border protection out by identifying containers with a high risk for being compromised by terrorists and requesting that foreign customs authorities then scan the containers with X-ray or gamma-ray machines.
