The Scobey–Coronach Border Crossing connects the towns of Scobey, Montana and Coronach, Saskatchewan. An airport with a grass runway that stradles the Canada-US border is located on the east side of this crossing. This border crossing was the site of the world's first fully automated port of entry, using biometrics to confirm the identity of travelers. The US and Canadian governments engaged in a cooperative prototype project to enable certain trusted individuals with nothing to declare to cross the border in either direction after the port had closed for the night. Local residents who were enrolled could use a speaker recognition system to open the gates and enter the country without inspection. This system was replaced with a Remote Video Inspection System, which was decommissioned after the September 11 attacks of 2001. == History == The US Customs Service established this crossing as a port of entry in 1914, at the peak of the homesteading in this area. The US first built an inspection station at the border in 1937. That red brick roadside border station was replaced by a wooden structure in the median in 1978, and that facility was replaced by a multi-lane border station in 2012. Canada replaced its border stations in 1958, 1981 and 2014. ==See also== * List of Canada–United States border crossings 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scobey–Coronach Border Crossing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
