VEHICLE INSPECTION

Standard Secure the Border vehicle inspection routine covering interior, trunk, engine, and X-ray scan order to find hidden items.

What is Vehicle Inspection?

Vehicle inspection is the hands-on search stage at the Secure the Border checkpoint. You examine the interior, trunk, and engine area in a fixed order, then run the X-ray scanner to reveal objects hidden inside the vehicle.

Why follow an inspection order?

1

Search Every Compartment

Cover interior, trunk, and engine so no section is skipped under pressure

2

Use the X-Ray Scanner

Reveal objects concealed inside panels and hidden spaces

3

Decide on Evidence

Approve or reject based on what the full search actually found
