Crime
Standard shipping seals are so flimsy that a thief with a basic pair of bolt cutters can vanish with a million dollars in electronics before a GPS tracker even updates.
The modern global supply chain relies on a security feature that costs less than a lunch special. Most trailers carrying high-value goods are secured with twenty-dollar locks that can be breached in under sixty seconds. Because logistics networks prioritize speed, these containers often sit in unsecured lots where organized crews can offload an entire haul and move the goods through dark web fences within 48 hours.
