Under the policy, can VACIS be used as part of non-intrusive vehicle screening?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only for large vehicles
• D. Only at certain ports

Answer: (A)

VACIS, the Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System, is designed to screen vehicles non-intrusively by producing an image of the vehicle’s interior without opening it. This lets officers detect hidden compartments or contraband while the vehicle stays intact. Because of this non-intrusive capability, VACIS is used as part of vehicle screening at various border locations and for different vehicle types, not just large vehicles or only at certain ports. So it can be used as part of non-intrusive vehicle screening.
