title: Vehicles, containers, railway wagons.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Findings shall be shown which have been obtained employing X-rays, accelerator rays and gamma rays for control.
  
  
  METHODS
  The observations have been made with transmission imaging, backscatter imaging, and with the combination of transmission with backscatter imaging. The images come from the manufacturers and from personal collections.
  
  
  RESULTS
  One has to look for the extra spaces room, which are often hidden and for the objects themselves.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Weapons, explosive, cigarettes, drugs and other contraband can be found. The smugglers react to possible controls with X-rays. The controls of the future will combine different technologies.
