Every year more than 500 million travelers
are allowed into the United States. Over 11 million trucks and 2 million
rail cars are admitted by land, and at sea an estimated 7,500 ships
pass through the U.S. ports. Following the September 11 attacks and
the threat of terrorist threat, securing our borders has become more
important than ever before. The Department of Homeland security has
recently been formed to address these concerns and to find an appropriate
solution.
Random checks simply don’t match the security measures of today.
Since customs cannot hold the ship in the dock for a week, or however
long it would take to manually check the manifest, they are forced
to perform random checks. So far there have been no adequate solutions,
until Image-X began applying XForms. These are interactive forms that
can be filled and submitted from any place and at any time drastically
simplified the dilemma while reducing security issues. |
