Customs Adds Gamma Ray 'Eyes' at Mexican Border

The Customs Service said it is beefing up its cargo inspection technology capabilities by spending $15.2 million for 16 additional mobile gamma-ray systems to be deployed mostly along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The systems are to be delivered later this year and early next year, according to a Customs spokeswoman, in time for inauguration of international trucking between the United States and Mexico.
