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.
