Hold on there. Containers are usually
shipped as FAK (Freight All Kinds) or
NOIBN (Not Otherwise Identified By Name).
EXCEPT haz-mat.
Meaning nobody except the shipper and
consignee have any clue what's in
a container (or boxcar, for that matter.
Of course, no way would anyone inside
the shipper or consignee organizations
could be bribed to disclose the contents
to gangs.
Right.
