How Can We Keep Out a Trojan Horse if Our Civilization's Gates are Wide Open?

It is fairly silly to believe our leadership when they say that our nation is protected from international terrorists when you leave our civilization's gates wide open. Let's face it our borders are porous. Indeed, how hard is it to keep down a Trojan horse if your civilization has no gates? If we're to protect the United States of America from cargo containing weapons of mass destruction or a nuclear bomb then we cannot do so if our borders are porous and the freight is not properly checked when it is unloaded off the ships.
