Vibrational Energy and Solar Powered Net-Centric RFID Cargo Container Communication Devices

Is it possible to secure the millions of cargo containers that enter our nation from around the world? The numbers are so staggering and the potential ways to hide insidious WMD are huge. But with new technology, we may be able to bridge the gap and protect the American People from a horrific International Terrorist Attack. How so you ask?

Using RFID active tags that can communicate with the satellite and other nearby boxes this may in fact be potentially viable. Of course, the power source will have to be able to handle weeks at sea, without recharging the batteries. One way to do this is to use the normal vibrational energy on the trucks, ships and cranes to power up a small battery using electro-magnetic induction principles and or a combination w/solar as well.

What will it cost to do this? It could cost as much as $50.00 per container, which is a small price to pay and indeed, those costs will also be worth their weight in gold due to the economies of scale and efficiencies they will provide to the over all logistics, reduction in payrolls and information flows to shippers. Knowing exactly where a container is, anywhere in the world at all times, is the equivalent of UPS or FedEx tracking of your overnight package, yet even better.

Knowing within 3 meters where your container is, and if any weapons of mass destruction, contraband or illegal material is inside is power. The power of information and guess what, we have all that technology and more and we have it today.
