Abstract

A system monitors the condition of a container. A container security device secures the container. The container security device is programmably armed to implement the securing. The container security device is adapted to sense at least one condition of the container, transmit information relative to the at least one sensed condition to a location outside the container, and interpret the at least the condition. A remote arming plug is adapted to be removably coupled to the container security device. The remote arming plug has a unique identifier to be communicated to the container security device to initiate an arming sequence of the container security device. The remote arming plug is adapted to be applied as an integrated deployable seal to at least one sealing location to physically secure the container.
