It is the sense of Congress that— non-intrusive inspections systems are an important tool to increase U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s ability to detect and interdict illicit and unclaimed goods while securely and efficiently facilitating the flow of trade and travel entering the United States at land ports of entry; it is in the interest of United States trade and border security to develop the capacity to increase to 100 percent the rate of scanning of passenger and commercial vehicles entering the United States at land ports of entry;
U.S. Customs and Border Protection should actively implement plans to increase the rate of scanning of passenger and commercial vehicles entering the United States at land ports of entry towards 100 percent, consistent with the Securing America's Ports Act ( Public Law 116–299 ; 6 U.S.C. 211 note); and U.S. Customs and Border Protection should use past and future congressional appropriations for non-intrusive inspection systems to incrementally increase the rate of scanning of passenger and commercial vehicles entering the United States at land ports of entry and to ensure adequate staffing and other resources so as to support the full use of such systems and adjudication of scans.
