Immigration departments face daily challenges as thousands cross their borders that must be protected from dangerous entries. It is the responsibility of immigration department to identify known or potential suspects as they enter the country. To do this effectively, border control personnel must be able to process mass amounts of data on individuals and spot out those that appear questionable, and may need to be investigated.
