dr. flynn: you're going to hear back to back boston accents. currently at northeastern university where i went the support of the macarthur foundation looking at the growing risk of a managing the threat to our global supply the risk of radioactive materials and weapons of mass distraction. i'm honored to be here. it is my assessment that the threat of the dirty bomb at a u.s. port is a clear and present danger. current efforts are not of to the task to preventing a determined adversary to exploiting the system and setting off a bomb in a u.s. port. it would not be so much a weapon of mass distraction as of mass disruption. they would be three of media consequences. local deaths and injuries associated with the blast and explosives. the environmental damage and extremely high cleanup costs, as dr. potter laid out, we do not have standards for coping with the aftermath. and then the morning-after problem. no way of determining where the compromise that led to the incident happened within the security system. we have 2 outcomes, the entire supply

dr. flynn, thank you for being here today.ed your work and read a lot of what you have written as again i represent the port of los angeles and i'm always very concerned that as you said, the containers security initiative scans less than 1% of u.s.-bound cargo. do you believe that scanning at the point of origin is effective, 100% effective, or should we be investing more in that scanning at our domestic courts? >> this is an issue so high we should look at dealing with this across the board. relative to we spoke, this ranks right up there. i think given a consequence we laid out. i spent a good bit of time in the port of l.a. and long beach and you get the sense of scale about what's going on. but the problem would be in this dirty bomb scenario where if we spread office around how would you work in the port, as well as of course -- when you leave the terminal, we like to ideally have that when people drive in the terminal educated for just u.s. you have to do for everything and that's what does counter proliferation value t
