New Nukes at U.S. Border
The border patrol has decided to go nuclear against those who want to sneak barrels of mustard gas, bales of marijuana or bundles of bucks into the country.
Starting early next week, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, agents will start testing a nuclear scanning device, called a Pulsed Fast Neutron Analysis system (PDF), that will show a border agent the molecular construction of all materials in an 18-wheeler without the agent having to open the truck. |

Re: New Nukes at U.S. Border
I like it. Maybe with increased scanning speed and processing capacity we'll be able to scan traffic in major arteries to America's cities. Terrorist truck bombs are a real possiblity and I'm suprised they have yet to be used against us.
