**Requires Customs and Border Protection to update port-of-entry inspection policies at least every three years to counter new smuggling methods.** The law directs the Commissioner to review and revise the Office of Field Operations’ policies and manuals so inspection practices are uniform and can respond to technological or methodological changes used to disguise illegal activity, such as drug and human smuggling.
