At one checkpoint in Panyu, around 40 police officers are on duty and are assisted with x-ray devices, vehicle identification systems, high-tech surveillance systems and other hand held devices such as metal detectors and mirrors to search under the vehicles.
Each vehicle shall be scrutinized by six officers overseen by an armed police officer. But the method is slow and only 80 vehicles can be checked each day.
