This includes interdiction of goods being illegally imported into or exported from the United States at a place other than a designated port of entry. Of upmost concern is the detection and prevention the illegal entry of terrorists, terrorist weapons, persons, and contraband.
USBP Headquarters is required to provide Border Patrol agents with an effective and purposeful inventory of thermal imaging equipment for domain awareness, surveillance, and detection.
