New nonintrusive inspection equipment to combat illicit narcotics at the borders
What the document says“(1) Procurement and integration of new nonintrusive inspection equipment and associated civil works, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other innovative technologies, as well as other mission support, to combat the entry or exit of illicit narcotics at ports of entry and along the southwest, northern, and maritime borders.”
The first listed purpose. It covers buying and integrating new nonintrusive inspection equipment and the civil works that go with it, naming artificial intelligence, machine learning and other innovative technologies, along with other mission support. The stated aim is to combat the entry or exit of illicit narcotics at ports of entry and along the southwest, northern and maritime borders.
What the document actually says“(1) Procurement and integration of new nonintrusive inspection equipment and associated civil works, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other innovative technologies, as well as other mission support, to combat the entry or exit of illicit narcotics at ports of entry and along the southwest, northern, and maritime borders.”
The money buys new gear that can see inside a truck without opening it. It also pays for the building work that gear needs. The aim is to stop drugs going in or out.
A port of entry is a place where people cross into the country. The gear scans what comes through. The law says the gear may use smart software to read what it sees.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
