Exercise 4. Read the text below and single out its main points.
Text 1 Protecting Our Borders
The Customs Service plays an important role in protecting Russia’s borders from the entry of illegal and harmful goods and unauthorized people. It must carry out this role while not impeding the legitimate movement of people and goods across the border.
Customs contribute to the whole-of-government approach to secure Russia from potential terrorist threats. Cargo intervention, passenger screening and first-port boarding rates are at an all-time high. International and inter-agency cooperation continue to play a vital role in protecting our borders.
Customs remain focused on intercepting illicit drugs and other items potentially harmful to the community.
Border Technologies
Customs use a wide range of technology, such as X-rays and ion scans, which detect tiny traces of certain elements, in protecting against terrorism and the movement of illicit drugs and prohibited imports.
Border technologies include any equipment that aids the detection, search, examination or surveillance of ships, aircraft, goods or persons entering or departing Russia.

What role do Customs play in protecting Russia’s borders?
What items can be potentially harmful to the community?
What is the potential power of technologies at the Customs?
