They never mention the intended destination. I am sure the intended recipient was investigated and all but it's a curious detail to omit in an otherwise, very thorough article.
307703’s load was bound for a foundry called Sigimet
in the town of Pozzolo Formigaro, 40 miles north of Genoa.
I think I was thrown off with all of the talk about US policy, DHS, 9/11: So after 10 years and more than $1 billion spent on
scanners, radiation detectors, and beefed-up intelligence,
most US ports are still scanning containers onshore, after unloading.
I still don't get the connection here. It seems they are implying we need tighter security to avoid this happening in this US. Instead, I inferred that this container was heading here. Oops.
