Bingo. If they own a port, the Chinese can ship the entire materiel for an armored column, or even ICBMs, behind our defenses. We have THAAD in Korea, but can we defend against a missile launch from Vancouver?
The United States and Canada have some pretty fucking insanely good radioactive material detection grid. It can find people who have had radioactive cancer treatment 8~10 months after the fact. And just to be clear here its cancer treatments from nations who don't share medical data with the U.S. so there end up being false positive nuclear material warnings, the people who have had legit cancer treatments and set off the nuclear warnings and the U.S. can confirm it was genuine treatment never see the interviewer and are never asked about it because its meant to be a largely invisible process.
Part of the reason the sale of a port was considered "viable" was the fact security has moved away from direct inspections, into really elaborate surveillance and detection grids. A lot of major airports also have the same kind of hidden border controls. Thats part of the reason a smart border wall between Mexico is 110% viable and necessary, parts of it already exist in certain remote hotspots for border crossings there just isn't the political will to see a real physical barrier going up.
Am I saying China wouldn't try it? oh they probably already have and theres probably worse things moving around the west than anything the Chinese have successfully managed to get into the west. There was some pretty alarming cold war reports of Soviet agents traveling around Europe and North America carrying dirty bombs, not nuclear bombs of course but something that would irradiate sections of a city or lets say air/navy base should the cold war turn hot. From what I understand their instructions were to keep it moving and pass it from agent to agent in a city then if nothing happened during their mission dispose of it in a way that another agent could recover it. Fuck knows if its real but China would be the type of just buy the information from Russia.
In addition to direct action, which is a facet of Western warfare, the Eastern mind is much more focused on distraction and actions performedd by other actors. I'm sure that they facilitate and support drug cartels, both South American and Asian, in their operations
China turns a blind eye to counterfeit goods so long as they profit. Everything from fake Versace watches to fake Marlboro cigarettes. Controlling the ports is essential to exporting cheap chink fakeware.
You need to work on your abstract thinking. A missile that can be disassembled, moved, then reassembled would be dangerous. Just have some agents visa overstay in an enemy nation to set everything up, or have them emigrate over with an anchor baby.
OR, you can ship the icbm in a the shipping container, then set it off in the ports to destroy important infrastructure. Did Baidu american agribusiness wipe out the agricultural infrastructure in an antagonist nation? GREAT!!! destroy the baidu shipping ports, and starve the sand niggers out before the flimsy tank columns and millions of expendable bugmen pour across the border. IF the oil rich portions are secured, then the baidu will not be able to use their nuke arsenal for fear that the (((global economy))) will be destroyed.
You're missing the point, ICBM = intercontinental ballistic missile aka a missile fired between continents. There isn't a point in shipping it directly to it's target when you could just ship a regular bomb.
I'll work on my abstract thinking if you work on educating yourself. ICBM - Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile. They're fucking huge, 5 stories tall carrying tons of fuel. Were you going to ship the maintenance crew with it to keep it from exploding during shipment?
It's pretty funny watching you try to be a smart ass about it. Abstract thinking....lulz!
Wouldn't you rather ship a warhead? Thinking.....abstractly.....wouldn't that be a lot more convenient? Please let us know.
California is swarming with police (and people in general), and has plenty of Air Force and Coast Guard coverage. No unauthorized missle launched from CA would make it more than 200 miles over the sea before being shot down by a Top Gun who's been waiting for this moment his whole life.
i think his point was it would be a theatre ballistic missile or truck/container bomb not an intercontinental ballistic missile. although shipping an ICBM to america and launching it to russia would be an epic prank.

A ship can carry things in lead containers. Sensors are designed to detect smuggled stuff with light or no shielding.

That's some dense material sir. Good read.

Fun fact: eating (or carrying) too many bananas can set off airport radioactivity sensors

Making nice $$ while doing it. Operations as a profit center. Not bad.

Shipping an ICBM in a shipping container defeats the purpose, but, whatever.

I think you both have a point here. You could ship a some assembly required version of some very dangerous shit.
I however think our intelligence community has this accounted for. If nothing else the police state we share should be able to defend against this.
