U.S. Customs and Border Protection - Protecting Our Southern Border Against the Terrorist Threat
Overview U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). U.S. Customs and Border Protection have taken a number of steps to increase security across our borders during the "period of increased risk" leading up to the presidential election. These actions and initiatives include a broad range of strategies and defenses that CBP deploys in its anti-terror mission. CBP's protective measures include intensified activities in the areas of passenger processing, cargo targeting and inspection, non-intrusive technology inspections, as well as a number of initiatives to increase security along the U.S. - Mexico Border.
