What new technologies are being used to increase border security and contribute to homeland security?
What will be an ideal response?
A program of the DHS, called U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT), seeks to enhance the security of our citizens and visitors; facilitate legitimate travel and trade; and ensure the integrity of our immigration system. The program requires visitors to submit inkless finger scans and digital photographs, allowing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers to determine whether the person applying for entry is the same one who was issued a visa by the State Department. Biometric and biographic data are also checked against watch lists of suspected foreign terrorists and databases of sexual predators, criminals wanted by the FBI, and people deported previously from the United States.
