Plain-English Summary
The government would install advanced scanning equipment at busy U.S. border crossings to inspect vehicles and cargo without opening them up, focusing first on locations where smuggling and illegal border crossings are most common. This technology would help border agents detect contraband and security threats more quickly and efficiently while speeding up the flow of legitimate traffic through ports of entry. The change would affect travelers, truck drivers, and businesses that import goods across land borders.
