eventually, the consumer over the long term, this could end up costing the tax payer more? Hedging against loss is a cost of doing business. Theft is built into the pricing at grocery stores and other retailers. Why should shipping be different? Yes, the sums are MUCH larger, but the general point is the business should account for its costs as part of its budget. This sounds like a variation of "too big to fail" - the answer may very well be require smaller/safer ships. That would cost more, but long term, might do a better job accounting for the costs of loss.
