Border agents using gamma-imaging technology on an incoming freight train apprehended two Brazilian nationals trying to enter the United States illegally, authorities said Monday.
Nilson Giusti, 41, and Agiles Bezerra, 23, were found in two separate cars on the Black Rock Rail Bridge [near Buffalo, NY,] Saturday, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The two were returned to Canada. Inspectors use gamma radiation technology to scan rail cars, trucks and cargo containers for people, weapons and other contraband.
I'm just happy to see that some int'l railcars are being scanned. Anyone know if this is being done (and if it is effective) with containers at ports? |
