CBP carries out this responsibility at 326 air, sea, and land ports of entry. In response to a congressional request, GAO examined CBP traveler inspection efforts, the progress made, and the challenges that remain in staffing and training at ports of entry, and the progress CBP has made in developing strategic plans and performance measures for its traveler inspection program. To conduct its work, GAO reviewed and analyzed CBP data and documents related to inspections, staffing, and training, interviewed managers and officers, observed inspections at eight major air and land ports of entry, and tested inspection controls at eight small land ports of entry. GAO's testimony is based on a report GAO issued November 5, 2007. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-329T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-329T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-329T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-329T.pdf GAO-08-329T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-329T Testimony GAO-08-329T; Border Security: Despite Progress, Weaknesses in Traveler Inspections Exist at Our Nation's Ports of Entry; Air transportation Airline security Airport security Airports Border control Border patrols Border security Customs administration Homeland security Performance measures Port security Security assessments Security investigations Security policies Security threats Strategic planning Terrorists Transportation Transportation security Travel
