More intelligent border security. Manaher understands the critical line CBP walks with U.S. border security: Officials must find new technologies to combat terrorism and smuggling without impeding crucial trade and tourism traffic. Fortunately, she has a talent for integrating technologies such as RFID and biometrics with intelligence systems. She also successfully manages mission-critical programs such as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative with the State Department, CBP's Land Border Initiative and a biometric/biographic entry/exit program.
