Document Description
The proposed action is for Customs and Border Protection to field and operate one Z® Backscatter Van™ (a mobile Z® Backscatter Screening System) and one Z® Portal™ (a stationary Z® Backscatter Screening System) at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. All vehicles directed from primary inspection lanes to secondary inspection areas will be screened by the Z® Backscatter Screening Systems. The images created by this X-ray technology will be scrutinized by CBP Officers for the presence of contraband as well as for persons attempting to illegally enter the country by hiding within a vehicle.
