Stumbled accross this, idly searching random shit while waiting for our table at dinner this evening.

Old - but interesting.

Border Security: Investigators Transported Radioactive Sources

Across Our Nation's Borders at Two Locations (05-JUL-06,

GAO-06-939T).

Given today's unprecedented terrorism threat environment and the

resulting widespread congressional and public interest in the

security of our nation's borders, GAO conducted an investigation

testing whether radioactive sources could be smuggled across U.S.

borders. Most travelers enter the United States through the

nation's 154 land border ports of entry. Department of Homeland

Security U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspectors at

ports of entry are responsible for the primary inspection of

travelers to determine their admissibility into the United States

and to enforce laws related to preventing the entry of

contraband, such as drugs and weapons of mass destruction. GAO's

testimony provides the results of undercover tests made by its

investigators to determine whether monitors at U.S. ports of

entry detect radioactive sources in vehicles attempting to enter

the United States. GAO also provides observations regarding the

procedures that CBP inspectors followed during its investigation.

GAO has also issued a report on the results of this investigation

(GAO-06-545R).
