How are the folks kind of tackling this now that that has made its way into the lexicon and gotten huge amounts of attention in recent years?
So there's been a lot of sophistication, unfortunately, that has come into this space.
these bad actors often do their research, sometimes will bribe the gate guard, whether it's fake IDs, paper, USDOTs pasted on the truck, stolen pickup numbers, things like that.
As long as there is sort of a leak that can be exploited, they're gonna find it.
And so we just have to be vigilant So first of all, step one is follow the SOPs.
If all gate guards followed every single SOP every single time and they could not be bribed, that would reduce, I don't know what the percentage would be, but a substantial percentage of the incidents.
And then there are all of the sort of things that you hope they would notice, but may not be obvious and may not be explicitly called out an SOP.
So for example, our driver's license scanner, it would be easy for us to just scan the barcode on the back.
We compare the barcode, the encoded information, to make sure it matches what's on the front.
They'll put it under like a UV light see holograms and check for the authenticity.
We're looking at beyond the lookout lists for, you know, basic threat intelligence, whether that's the facility's own or data sources that we consume in the back end.
We're looking for decals and BOL, excuse me, like pasted on paper that have USDOTs, things that don't match.
