The I-35 Border Patrol Checkpoint has recently seen a major boost in its ability to expedite trade processes and enhance the safety of travelers thanks to the deployment of a Multi-Energy Portal (MEP). This advanced non-intrusive inspection device is designed to improve inspections of commercial vehicles, ensuring a quick and safe examination process.
The MEP is an x-ray machine that features heavy shielding to provide maximum protection during inspections. It’s capable of scanning over 150 containers per hour in typical traffic flow, making it an incredibly efficient tool for border security and trade facilitation efforts alike. With its advanced technology, the MEP allows for more thorough and efficient inspections of commercial vehicles, ultimately benefiting both the public and international trade.
The deployment of this cutting-edge technology at the I-35 Border Patrol Checkpoint represents a significant step forward in enhancing border security measures. The Laredo Sector Border Patrol is committed to utilizing the latest technology to protect our borders and facilitate safe trade between countries.
