SURREY (NEWS1130) - Have you ever wondered what exactly your car is being scanned for as you cross into the US? Quite a bit of technology, like radon scans and X-rays, have been added at our main crossings since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
If you've got something in you car that you probably shouldn't, chances are the guards will find it. Mike Milne with US Border and Customs says the gamma reader you pass through gives a thorough X-ray in case of contraband or people trying to sneak into the States.
Then there's the radiation monitor.
"Those yellow statues you may see as you pass through the primary processing areas at our ports. Those are basically reading any kind of radiation signature. They are even so sensitive they may read you if you have had a recent medical procedure. And those are designed to identify anything that could be used as a weapon of mass effect."
