Does this include cargo, private and passenger planes. Arrival facilities cost 100s of million dollars and at the large airports - JFK, LAX, MIA there are 100s of CBP officers stationed permanently at these large airport.

I am guessing building new int'l arrival areas would cost about a billion dollars or more at each airport and take about five years.( I worked on template designs for International arrival terminals)
