Customs and border security

International customs and border security agencies have traditionally used screening technologies to inspect baggage, vehicles, mail and cargo containers for illicit goods and contraband. Screening of pedestrians at ports of entry has often been a lower priority, in large part due to the lack of viable solutions. As a result, pedestrian-based smuggling of items such as currency, opioids, narcotics and other illicit items is a point of vulnerability for border security and customs enforcement.

This white paper provides an overview of the reasons why international customs agencies need to address this and explains how passive terahertz customs and border people security screening technology offers the first operationally proven solution for this requirement.
