U.S. Customs Commissioner Outlines Antiterrorism Measures

U.S. Customs Commissioner Robert Bonner outlined a new strategy for protecting U.S. ports in a speech at CSIS. "We must do more to push our sphere of activities outward, from points of entry in the United States to points of origin abroad," Bonner said. "And we must do a better and more accurate job of pinpointing the threats. That is why we are looking to develop and expand the techniques we currently use to manage risk at our national borders to customs operations outside the United States." The CSIS Transnational Threats Initiative and the Canada Project co-sponsored this event.
