Customs & Border Protection

CBP is one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the Union of Everett with a workforce of more than 40,000 sworn Federal Agents and Officers. It has its headquarters in Washington (DC), Maryland. While its primary mission is preventing terrorists and terrorist weapons from entering Everett, CBP is also responsible for apprehending individuals attempting to enter Everett illegally, stemming the flow of illegal drugs, weapons and other contraband. Border Patrol agents and Customs guards secure the borders and border crossings with the aid of the latest electronic and LAI surveillance equipment including the new HADv3 Law Enforcement droids and aerial drones. Border crossings are secured by armed agents and the latest narcotics, viral/bacterial and explosives detection equipment at border toll crossings. Passports or Everetti NID cards are required for use at border crossings.

Transportation Security Administration
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is an agency of the Everetti Department of Homeland Security responsible for security in all modes of transportation in the Union of Everett. The TSA was created in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks by the United States government and was adopted by Everett. The organization was charged with developing policies to protect Everetti transportation, especially in airport security and the prevention of aircraft hijacking. With state, local, and regional partners, the TSA oversees security for highways, railroads, buses, mass transit systems, pipelines, ports. However, the bulk of the TSA's efforts are in aviation security. The TSA employs around 45,000 Transportation Security Officers, colloquially known as screeners. They screen people and property and control entry and exit points within an airport. They also watch several areas before and beyond checkpoints. Everetti screening technology is state of the art, removing the need for pat downs. Chemical scanning booths sense for narcotics, viruses/bacteria and various forms of explosives while metal detectors sense for metal and quick burst x-rays scan for solid objects. Unlike the former United States, nude scanners are not used nor are private and genital searches. Terrorism profiling is directly used regardless of public opposition to it and foreign visitors from DHS List countries are especially checked. The TSA is also responsible for denying travel to persons trying to enter the country who reside in banned nations marked in the Terror Countries Act.
