Increased Vehicle Scanning at US Borders for Security

New rules will increase the number of vehicles scanned entering the U.S. at land border crossings. This aims to better detect illegal goods and enhance security, potentially affecting border wait times but also improving the fight against smuggling.
Key points
Starting September 2024, at least 40% of passenger vehicles and 90% of commercial vehicles entering the U.S. will be scanned.
The goal is to gradually increase scanning to 100% of vehicles to improve border security and facilitate trade.
The act also includes a study on the feasibility of scanning vehicles exiting the U.S. to combat the flow of illicit funds and goods.
