Company’s Advanced Checkpoint Screening Technology Poised to Become an Essential Tool in the Detection and Seizure of Fentanyl and Other Contraband at the US-Canadian Border

ScanTech AI Systems, Inc., a publicly-traded innovator of next-generation checkpoint security scanning products and technology, applauds Canada’s recent efforts to reduce cross-border contraband, including fentanyl and other drugs.  ScanTech AI’s systems are currently excluded from recently announced cross-border tariff regimes and are expected to remain exempted given the mission critical nature of its technology and products.

On January 14, 2025, Canada’s Department of Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship announced meaningful progress in curtailing both illegal immigration and fentanyl crossing into the United States through a $1.3 billion effort to strengthen US-Canadian border security. The Canadian government announced that it would be purchasing new checkpoint scanning and security equipment such as fixed and mobile baggage and cargo scanners and hand-held chemical analyzers to further secure North America against illegal border crossings and drug trafficking. Despite increased tensions on the trade front, Canada remains one of the United States’ most powerful allies on border security, and experts anticipate that both nations will continue to work closely together.

ScanTech AI’s checkpoint scanners, which are already safeguarding two of Canada’s largest nuclear power plants, employ proprietary AI-driven advanced machine learning algorithms that address emerging homeland security threats as they scan and secure everything from personal items, baggage, parcels and cargo. The company’s scanners have also been deployed and successfully tested by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the Philadelphia and San Diego International Airports and offer advanced CT-grade detection and imagery without the moving parts and maintenance challenges of traditional CT scanners, resulting in lower acquisition and upkeep costs. These features, combined with AI-driven threat detection, enhance the efficiency of security checkpoints making the screening process up to 4x faster while improving security and detection across the board.

“We believe our CT scanning equipment will become one of the core tools in the effort to deter fentanyl at our borders and critical infrastructure,” noted Dolan Falconer, ScanTech AI’s Founder and CEO, “and we look forward to expanding our presence in Canada. In addition to our existing contracts to protect key components of Canada’s nuclear power infrastructure, we will also pursue emerging opportunities to deploy our CT scanning equipment along the US-Canada border.” ScanTech AI estimates an appropriation of up to approximately $100 million (USD) will be required to acquire the number of checkpoint scanners needed to cover the 120 legal land ports-of-entry between the US and Canada.
