There are white vertical rectangles, facing one another, when you cross the border by vehicle. Receiver and transmitter.
They don't tell you it's an X-ray scanner but it is, because fuck you.
They bombard you with X-rays, they know it's not healthy, but again, fuck you. That's how they find these kind of things.
Edit1: no idea why I'm getting downvoted, like at all. It is a statement of fact, and the "fuck you" is not personal to the reader, it's the sentiment from government to people crossing the border (legals illegals and citizens alike).
Edit2: there's a troll down there arguing about TSA scans being more harmful. No one was discussing or comparing TSA scans versus vehicle inspection scans. At all. I made the mistake of feeding the troll, don't do that people. Just ignore him.
I've seen those x-ray pictures. They are pretty revealing and it's obvious if you're hiding someone. Makes me wonder, do smugglers NOT know about it? What's the point of even trying to "hide" someone in that compartment when it's obviously going to be found? Are they counting on the x-ray machine not working? What's the thought process here? Please someone explain the mind of a smuggler for me.
i could be wrong but i assume they are taking that chance of the vehicle not getting scanned cuz not every vehicle gets scanned. What usually gives it away is the way the driver/people in the vehicle act and the BP probably know the signs on how people act that gives a dead giveaway that something is up

Genuinely always wonder how they end up finding them
