Protection Without Protectionism: Reconciling Trade and Homeland Security

Overview For decades, criminals have used cargo containers, trucks, and train cars to illegally bring narcotics, weapons, and people across U.S. borders. The vulnerabilities that smugglers exploit are also available to terrorists. This paper begins with a framework for thinking about how the burdens of securing trade should be apportioned. Next, it examines some ongoing U.S. and global initiatives. It concludes with discussions of new technologies and the dangers of justifying protectionism under the guise of security.
