"Technology and the companies that supply it are helping in many ways, from inspection machines at the border, to airborne sensors in dozens of cities checking for contaminants, to wireless and interoperable communications for first responders, to the biometrics that our new U.S. visit entry-exit visa check will deploy. Everywhere you look, technology offers a solution."
