Yea that need to be done but one of the things that is consistently mentioned in these interviews with trafficker's is how the drugs mostly flow through legal ports of entry.

Car scanning technology should be a part of strengthening our border.. and this should help with a lot of the stuff that comes through legal ports of entry.

If you just set it up at one port, all of that traffic is going to start flowing through other ports.. This should be very telling as to how much is crossing..

For example..

Let's assume 100,000 vehicles come through the El Paso border for 100 straight days.. with a minimum of 95,000 and a high of 105,000. We install the car scanning technology there..

and then let's assume the average drops to 80,000 vehicles per day for the next 100 days.. Meanwhile, the averages for other cities go up by 2500 vehicles per day.. That would tell me that 20,000 vehicles are getting through each day.. to either traffic people.. and/or carry drugs.. and/or something that is illegal.

That gives you an idea.. then you install another one somewhere else.. rinse and repeat.. start funneling everything to one location, where you start tracking all of the cars that enter that port of entry.. that leads you to the distribution centers.. because people not carrying something illegal would have no problem going through the scanners..

You have to this for all the container shipped in as well. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) currently scans 3.7% of the roughly 11 million containers entering the US each year. There is a lot of work to be done.

The challenge with scanning every vehicle is a person can’t be in it during scan.

Yeah you're talking about grinding the flow in some of the biggest economic avenues in the world to a grinding halt. The costs will be insane.

So make them get out and wait.. if they don't want to deal with it, they shouldn't cross the border right now.
