WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will spend $88 million to beef up its X-ray and imaging technology along the Mexican border, officials said Wednesday.
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a release that the funding, which is coming from the federal stimulus program, will go to buy "non-intrusive inspection" equipment to help Border Patrol agents spot contraband moving among commercial traffic along the border.
