==CSI core elements== [[File:Mobile VACIS Gamma-ray Image.jpeg|right|thumb|300px|Gamma-ray image of a truck with cargo container]] CSI consists of four core elements:<ref>{{Cite web|title=Container Security Initiative|url=https://www.oocl.com/eng/resourcecenter/customeradvisories/usacanada/Pages/containersecurityinitiative.aspx|url-status=live|access-date=2021-04-23|website=oocl.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120911170311/http://www.oocl.com:80/eng/resourcecenter/customeradvisories/usacanada/Pages/containersecurityinitiative.aspx |archive-date=11 September 2012 }}</ref> * Using intelligence and automated information to identify and target containers that pose a risk for terrorism. * Pre-screening those containers that pose a risk at the port of departure before they arrive at U.S. ports. * Using [[cargo scanning|detection technology]] to quickly pre-screen containers that pose a risk. * Using smarter, tamper-evident containers. The initial CSI program has focused on implementation at the top 20 ports shipping approximately two-thirds of the container volume to the United States. Smaller ports, however, have been added to the program at their instigation, and participation is open to any port meeting certain volume, equipment, procedural, and information-sharing requirements. Future plans include expansion to additional ports based on volume, location, and strategic concerns. Much of the original idea behind the CSI program stemmed from the work of [[James Giermanski]], who was an early proponent of Supply Chain Security.<ref>{{Cite web|title=James Giermanski Says Bungled Container Security Initiatives Call the S&T Directorate into Question|url=https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/james-giermanski-says-bungled-container-security-initiatives-call-st-directorate-question|access-date=2021-04-23|website=The Maritime Executive|language=en}}</ref>
