00:00:03.021 --> 00:00:05.187
Picado: The U.S. government,

00:00:05.187 --> 00:00:08.558
through the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Program,

00:00:08.558 --> 00:00:10.250
through Department of State,

00:00:10.250 --> 00:00:14.549
they've donated four of these body scanners to the government of Peru,

00:00:14.549 --> 00:00:17.733
to enhance the security and all threats

00:00:17.733 --> 00:00:20.254
that are going towards to the United States.

00:00:20.254 --> 00:00:26.128
CBP has provided the capacity building in order to target passengers,

00:00:26.128 --> 00:00:28.820
in order for them to come and get scanned,

00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:33.478
looking for narcotics inside their bodies and strapped.

00:00:33.478 --> 00:00:35.769
This machine is powerful to the point

00:00:35.769 --> 00:00:38.955
where you could actually see the pellets inside the intestines.

00:00:38.955 --> 00:00:40.995
We've donated four of these throughout Peru

00:00:40.995 --> 00:00:46.159
to all strategic points: Cusco, Lima, Tacna.

00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.263
They all have these machines.

00:00:48.263 --> 00:00:49.750
Outbound is important for us,

00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:52.131
because those are the passengers going towards the United States.

00:00:52.131 --> 00:00:55.194
We want to make sure that all threats are mitigated.

00:00:55.194 --> 00:00:57.484
All risks are mitigated with passengers

00:00:57.484 --> 00:01:00.544
who might have a bomb strapped to their bodies

00:01:00.544 --> 00:01:05.429
or cocaine strapped to their body, money, gold, all threats.

00:01:05.429 --> 00:01:07.595
So this machine will capture that.

00:01:07.595 --> 00:01:09.638
So it's very important for us to,

00:01:09.638 --> 00:01:13.967
CBP to provide the proper training to the government of Peru

00:01:13.967 --> 00:01:19.714
on how to use this machine and how to detect these illicit items on these persons.
