CBP agents will zap almost all trucks crossing Mexico-US border with beam from drive-thru 'multi-energy PORTAL' to try and detect more drugs and weapons
daily mail ^

Congress has directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to come up with a plan to scan 100 percent of arriving vehicles at the southern border

• Currently, drug traffickers take a gamble when they smuggle illegal narcotics into the U.S. with just 25 out of 500 vehicles per hour being searched

•Agency is preparing to roll out new 'nonintrusive' inspection systems to screen significantly more trucks

•Powerful high-energy scanners will detect 'anomalies' inside cargo loads

•'Multi-energy portals' will zap the cargo areas with high-energy waves, but use safer low-energy screening for the cab, allowing the drivers to remain inside

•Machines can scan eight times as many trucks per hour as the existing high-energy systems

•New computer software will also help decide which trucks clear inspection and which ones should be subjected to a more thorough review by officers or K-9s

•CBP in Laredo seized 588 pounds of the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl during 2021; eleven times more than the 50 pounds seized in 2020

This security theater will totally secure the border, and make some defense contractor lots of money.

‘•CBP in Laredo seized 588 pounds of the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl during 2021’

That’s progress.

When there are no deaths from fentanyl, that will be “progress.”

A black, rectangular device with a top-mounted rotating hood,
two opening compartments, and a shoulder strap.
The top pivots open, exposing a small screen and control buttons.

I drive thru these things almost daily for years now. Radiation detector is the first portal, and x-ray is next.

Doubly sucks for me because nearly all of the propane I haul in from BC is radioactive, requiring an additional scan.

From the way they describe it, it seems like they’re using X-rays, not just something “the same lines” as X-rays. Not exactly harmless.

“Will this light up the graphene nano particles from the kungflu vax?”

Only after being activated by 5G signals from LEO satellites.

It’s actually more of a flouroscope- they claim that the unit runs at low power until it sees the gap between the cab and trailer, and switches to high power mode.

I overheard them talking about the amazing details the new machines show.

If a driver refuses the scan, then their cab gets searched manually.

It used to be that they x-rayed our rigs with us out of the vehicle.

A flouroscope is an X-Ray machine.
