The stream of U.S.-bound 18-wheelers and passenger vehicles slows to a near halt approaching the customs booths at the Peace Bridge, rolling through unobtrusive radiation detectors that arch over the inspection lanes.
The detectors, designed to sniff out nuclear and radiological hazards, offer silent witness to how the business of commerce and security has changed immensely along what's known as the world's largest undefended border.
In the four years since the Sept. 11 attacks, technology has come to the border in a big way, particularly in the Niagara Falls-Buffalo region, which is a major gateway for trade and traffic between the U.S. and Canada.
