What is NOT true about C-tapt and CSI?

Both initiatives improve domestic supply chain and U.S. border security
C-tapt is a mandatory initiative documented by law
CSI allows the screening of baggage cargo at domestic seaports
Both C-tapt and CSI are optional measures for security enhancement

The correct answer is: Both C-tapt and CSI are optional measures for security enhancement

The assertion that both C-tapt and CSI are optional measures for security enhancement is not true because C-tapt (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) is indeed a mandatory initiative, as it requires companies to adhere to certain security measures to ensure the safety of the supply chain and border. This initiative was established by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in response to vulnerabilities in the supply chain and is essential for compliance with federal regulations. In contrast, the Container Security Initiative (CSI) does employ security measures but is designed to enhance security at foreign ports, focusing on screening containers before they reach U.S. ports. These initiatives are interlinked, aiming at improving U.S. border security and the overall domestic supply chain. The mischaracterization of them being optional undercuts their importance in national security efforts aimed at mitigating risks associated with cargo transport and ensuring the effectiveness of security protocols.
