This is even more tragic because there's NO reason for it. Why can't/aren't these containers inspected/scanned? This seems like a very easy problem to fix.
When I was, 1980's less than 2% were even halfway inspected. Decades went by and they always blamed it in under funding. How about every single container gets opened, sorted through, and repackaged on arrival?
What you suggest would be nearly 100% foolproof, but to go from 2% to that would be an amazing feat. It's just hard for me to believe that technology doesn't make it possible to at least scan 100% for people.

How about less cargo? We do not need anything that is not in our best interests, and we need very little.
