Between Sept. 28 and Dec. 13, 2004, a division of General Electric tested new "tamper-evident secure container" technology by sending shipments of GE products packed in 18 of the experimental freight containers between Hong Kong and Long Beach, California.
An integrated security sensor was attached to the inside wall of each tamper-evident container and armed after the container was packed and sealed with a standard bolt seal.
