US Customs and Border Protection issued a press release advising that the Port of Honolulu has installed a Radiation Portal Monitor to screen vehicles and cargo departing from Pier 1 for radiation. Use of radiation monitors is part of an ongoing effort to detect and prevent the transportation of nuclear devices, dirty bombs and other items that could be used in terrorist attacks.
The website of the Maritime Terrorism Research Center at http://www.maritimeterrorism.com is also a great resource for port security news.
