People and goods travel around the world via air, sea and land. Borders and ports are under constant security threat. Arecont Vision understands the unique needs of this market and provides megapixel technology to specifically meet those needs.
Presently the cost of “Aviation Security” within the Transportation Security Administration's annual US&7,101,828,000 budget is US$5,042,297,880. Not included in the budget is Federal Air Marshals, Checkpoint Security Screening Fund, Aviation Security Capital Fund and Transportation Security Support and Intelligence. The real cost of “aviation security” as provided by the TSA totals an estimated US$6,959,791,440.
In the scenario of a one-year port reconstruction [following a terrorist attack on the Los Angeles—Long Beach port complex], the U.S. economy could suffer losses of almost $45 billion. These include direct costs, indirect costs, and induced costs. Direct costs arise as a direct result of the halt in shipping.

Most recently Senator Chuck Schumer (D—New York) has proposed allocating additional funding to railway security as well as the creation of a “no ride list” that would function similarly to the airline's “no fly list,” that is aimed at keeping suspected terrorists from boarding airplanes. “It costs us somewhere around $7 or $8 dollars per passenger for airline security. Imagine adding that cost to a subway or commuter train fare. It would destroy public surface transportation,”
