And what orifice did you pull this "statistic" from?- there is more checking within boarders then at boarders - actually.
No, really. I would like you to back that up with facts.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

I am a consultant that works with the department of homeland security - customs & boarder patrol for Scanning & testing and to ANSI N42.46 for homeland security X-ray Inspection & nuclear detection. I also consult and lobby for manufacturers that have or ship products impacted or damaged by radiation in transit.And what orifice did you pull this "statistic" from?

Not to say you're full of it, BUT you didn't even get the name of the agency correct. It's Customs and Border Protection. I never said no one on this board does anything technical for a living, and I'm inclined to believe you from the detail of your post. The reason I'm telling you that your statistic is incorrect is because it is, and I know this because I'm an officer on the ground. ALL ports of entry in the United States have, or are in the process of receiving the technology to detect radiation. We're operating under a presidential mandate to screen 100% of people, conveyences and cargo for radiation.I am a consultant that works with the department of homeland security - customs & boarder patrol for Scanning & testing and to ANSI N42.46 for homeland security X-ray Inspection & nuclear detection.

To be sure The number of units detecting radiation are larger intra-state and intra US boarders than at boarders.
The information I have is cumulative from my own accounts - In NY, for example, the number of systems at boarder checkpoints are countable with two hands - There are maybe two units at boarder ports of entry Every state trooper vehicle in NY is allocated a radiation detector. Most bridges tunnels , highways leading to & near NYC are affixed with detection capability. There are scanner trucks that are within our state that can and do X-ray scan vehicles.
New York has an extensive amount of scanning going on. Both with ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and passive systems to detect a lot of illicit trafficking. I was contracted to refurbish and replace many radiation detectors used by our NY government. I also train emergency responders regarding radiation detection & safety. I have a very good knowledge of what is used and rough quantities involved at least where I have supported such work with agencies across NY, and at the ports in Charleston, SC and at TX/Mexico boarder sites.
Thanks for the "Orifice" comment - what the orafice would be is my brain, I can count on my hand the boarder devices versus the hundreds of other devices I've tested for safety within NY alone.
Thanks for the crazy emoticon.
You might be surprised not everyone that collects army trucks does something technical for a living - many of us have real skills and expertise beyond collecting trucks. If I am crazy about anything, I like to spend far to much money on my deuces.
There isn't a single TV in that building, not even in our break room. I haven't walked the entire parking lot, but I haven't seen any basketball hoops either.BTW There are several TVs , basketball hoops and rest areas off of clements ferry rd facility - Seen plenty of guys lounging there. There is no waste at the CBP - gotcha. Goverment and efficiency they are synonmous.
radiation is the gift that keeps on giving, the only safe, prudent way to handle your situation is for a volunteer from the volunteer fire dept. to take the vehicles away for safe storage.
Bet those helicopters are off the scale!As a side note, there has to be some MV's that were exposed to radiation due to experiments unless there is some kind of protocol for this kind of situation, that doesn't involve DRMO.
