Patent ID: 7663484

Claim:
A method for reporting at least one detected active threat to the homeland security (HS);—each said threat being hidden inside at least one cargo container before transit; each said threat while interacting with internal borders of said cargo generates a unique threat signature; said method comprising: (A) substantially continuously actively probing each said cargo container to detect at least one said threat either being hidden inside said cargo container before transit; (B) detecting at least one said threat signature; (C) processing each said detected threat signature to determine a likelihood of at least one said threat to become a threat to HS; (D) identifying at least one said container that includes said threat to HS; (E) reporting to at least one Homeland Security Monitoring Center (HSMC) that said at least one container includes said at least one threat to HS; and receiving instructions from said at least one Homeland Security Monitoring Center (HSMC) how to eliminate at least one said reported threat to HS while in transit; and (F) using robotic means to eliminate said at least one detected threat to HS.
