CONTRABAND DETECTION EQUIPMENT

Every country is aware that its territorial integrity and national existence to much extent rests on its ability to police its land and sea borders, and to control its air space.
That is why in the developed world, most major international airports have technology for verifying identification, checking for criminal records, and inspecting passengers’ luggage and commercial cargo to prevent contraband and dangerous goods from entering the country.

The use of contraband detection technology enables customs officers to conduct effective, non-intrusive inspections, and allows them to focus on high-risk individuals and goods.
