National Guard Car X-Rays, Schenectady Drug Enforcement
The New York National Guard is deploying portable car X-ray technology in Schenectady to assist local police in the "war on drugs." The equipment can scan vehicle undercarriages and swab surfaces for trace amounts of narcotics or explosives. This domestic use of military personnel and technology for routine policing is criticized as a violation of the US Constitution.
