Presently, customs agents screen arrivals on a more-or-less random basis – a move introduced following the 11 September attacks. US Customs claims that the extra screening will not cause extra delays for travellers.
Cargo arriving in the United States by sea or air will still only be checked on an ad-hoc basis, though there are plans to have all cargo screened within a year.
