u.s. department of homeland security unveils new AI-powered border security system, slashing wait times by 60% and catching smuggling rings in real-time. The tech, deployed at major airports and land crossings, uses predictive analytics to flag high-risk travelers without profiling. Early results show a 40% drop in illegal crossings at test sites. DHS says it will expand nationwide by Q4, saving millions in operational costs. Privacy groups raise concerns, but the agency cites data anonymization protocols. This is the fastest tech rollout in DHS history.
