Air smuggling is just one area of rapidly increasing modernization of smuggling techniques. Other smuggling is done by ship. and the Bureau will increase its use of ships in surveillance of our coastal waterways. But the Customs Bureau has the responsibility for policing hundreds of border crossing points and literally thousands of miles of docks. wharves. and seaport coastal areas. as well as many international airports. The number of persons passing through these checkpoints. the fantastic quantities of goods. and the expertise of those attempting to do the smuggling makes this an almost impossible task. More than increased customs personnel is needed to remedy this threat to the national safety and well being.
