ATLANTA — It may look like a presidential motorcade but this is what a routine delivery to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the site of Super Bowl 53, looks like.
Homeland Security isn't playing around. They've moved technology used to security our nation's borders to a parking lot in downtown Atlanta.
"We are the first line of defense with containers coming into this country and these guys are experts they do this on a daily basis," said Chief James Askew of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Askew, normally based in Norfolk, Virginia, is overseeing the operation in Georgia.
"We are scanning all cargo and all shipments heading into the facility," Askew said.
Every truck will be scanned by a mobile x-ray machine before getting anywhere near the stadium.
"You have everything, from cars trucks commercial packages any merchandise going to any of those super bowl sites down here," Askew explained.
Agents take the x-ray images taken by the truck and compare that to the manifest provided by the driver.
"Our expert officers are able to find any anomalies found in those images," Askew said.
If everything checks out, Atlanta police lead the way to the stadium.
This is just one of the hundreds of checkpoints and law enforcement members from across the nation you can expect to see on the ground and in the air in Atlanta leading up to Sunday.
"It's very similar to what we do at our ports of entry every day our land boarders our airports. This is normal for us."
All to make sure that come this weekend, the only focus is on football.
