Pic Of The Moment: Greg Abbott Enjoyed The Last Supply Chain Crisis So Much, He's Creating A New One

8. Big time theater.
So two things to remember here, Abbott can only command the actions of state troopers and state officers and the feds are the ones who deal with what is inside the trailers. So the state DOT guys are crawling around checking the brakes and that sort of thing, looking at all the permits and licenses, that's only a federal thing after a crime has been identified.
Trailers that cross international borders with freight are sealed. That seal is a mere strip of aluminum or plastic but it is registered and can only be broken, legally, by a designated receiver, if it is broken at the border, the feds have to investigate so I can tell you that the vast majority of the trailers with freight on them will not be subjected to cargo inspection. Besides, there will be a pile of papers describing what's supposed to be inside.
Anyone who has been in the produce transport business can see, quite clearly, that this is all a crock of poo that stinks to high heaven.
Abbott is using food as a weapon here, make no mistake. A large portion of the freight on those trailers is fresh produce with an expiration date which means by the time that stuff gets to the warehouse, is garbage and several entities take a big loss.
That creates a big problem for food security for much of the country so this needs to be seen in that light as well as the other problems created by this bs.
