All Eyes on the Border
Open accessAbstract
Threats to U.S. agriculture are often thought of as invasive pests and diseases that are introduced by imported cargo.However, conveyances such as commercial shipments or passenger vehicles are pathways for invasive pests and diseases as well.This presentation will show the viewer how several types of contaminants might be spread by conveyances.It will also show the reasons for U.S. Customs and Border Protection's efforts to prevent invasive species from entering the United States, and ways for industry to prevent conveyance contamination.By engaging trade groups and providing methods and techniques that will reduce contaminates in conveyances, U.S. Customs and Border Protection aims to effect fewer delays, re-exportations, and treatments.Any inquiries regarding this information should be directed to CBP, Office of Field Operations, Agriculture Programs and Trade Liaison, or to a local CBP office staffed with an Agriculture Specialist.Let's get started. OVERVIEW:During this presentation, we will discuss:• What is carrier conveyance contamination?• Why are contaminants a concern?• Examples of carrier conveyance contamination.• CBP efforts to prevent carrier conveyance contamination.• Ways for preventing carrier conveyance contamination. OVERVIEW:• Carrier conveyances, such as ocean containers, aircraft, rail cars, and commercial trucks, are pathways by which invasive plant and animal pests and diseases might be introduced into the United States.• The economic and environmental impact of such unintentional introductions can be significant.• Invasive species are expensive to control and can reduce agricultural production, property values, and water availability.• There are approximately 1,050 invasive plant species reported in the United States. Photos Left: Soil contamination on military vehicle.Right: Animal blood leaking from a reefer arriving from foreign.(Seattle FO, 10/24/2013)• The larva emerge from the WPM as adults and attack trees in the immediate area.• Taking pallets and wood into the forest for camping expeditions, and moving wood around the U.S., increases the habitat for the destructive pest.• Tens of millions of ash trees have been cut down due to the emerald ash borer.• The costs of the emerald ash borer for municipalities, property owners, nursery operators and forest products industries is in the tens of millions of dollars.

“Silicon Valley companies have secured substantial contracts with the federal government and are largely responsible for the current technology architectures at agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (Mattern 2018).”

“In particular, an increased emphasis on information sharing and predictive threat modeling following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, has prompted agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security to acquire powerful data analysis software from private sector vendors, including those in Silicon Valley.”

In the citing paper
“Mattern (2018) echoes this concern in her critical analysis of recognition software deployed at the US southern border, suggesting that people who approach the border are dehumanized by the assemblage of securitization interfaces that incessantly gather data on them.”

“Rather than being viewed as human beings, border crossers are 'discussed as 'movements' or 'flows'; or, simply, 'items of interest'' (Mattern 2018).”

In the citing paper
“ICM's governing power, however, stems most deeply from its method of bulk and cumulative information aggregation that works to dehumanize individuals and reduce people to 'targets,' 'subjects,' and even 'items of interest' whose identities are determined solely by an algorithmic assessment of interrelated data points (Mattern 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
