Authority Checkpoint Network
The Department of Border Management operates 47 professional checkpoints providing safe, regulated passage between protected zones. Since 2042, our network has processed 2.8 million crossings while maintaining 99.2% verification accuracy.
Why Checkpoints Exist
The checkpoint system serves three critical purposes:
Safe Passage
Belt regions between protected zones contain Collapse-era contamination from damaged chemical facilities and environmental degradation. Between 2033-2041, over 2,400 people died attempting unauthorized crossings. Checkpoints provide verified safe routes preventing casualties.
Health Protection
Health screening at checkpoints prevents disease transmission between zones. Without screening, epidemics could spread rapidly across protected populations. Our health protocols have achieved 100% disease outbreak prevention since 2045.
Security Verification
Document verification ensures travelers are who they claim to be. Since 2042, we've prevented 127,000+ fraudulent crossings (forged documents, false identities, security threats). Professional verification protects all 137 million citizens.
How Checkpoints Work
The crossing process follows standardized procedures at all 47 facilities:
Step 1: Arrival & Document Submission
Travelers present Authority Travel Permit, government-issued identification, and health certification. Documents reviewed by trained inspectors.
Step 2: Biometric Verification
Advanced BioVerify Gen-4 systems scan fingerprints, photographs, and (when required) retinal patterns. Biometric data matched against Authority databases.
Step 3: Health Screening
Medical personnel conduct health assessments, temperature checks, and contamination screening. Ensures travelers are not carrying communicable diseases or Belt contaminants.
Step 4: Security Assessment
Background verification checks criminal history, security flags, and authorization legitimacy. Professional inspectors make final determination.
Step 5: Approval or Denial
Approved travelers proceed to destination zone. Denied travelers receive explanation and appeal information.

Checkpoint Safety Record
Since checkpoint network establishment in 2042:
- 2.8 million crossings processed safely and professionally
- 127,000+ fraudulent crossings prevented through verification
- Belt casualties reduced from 2,400 deaths (2033-2041) to fewer than 100 deaths (2042-2057)
- Zero disease outbreaks transmitted through checkpoint system
- 99.2% verification accuracy maintained across all facilities
"Without the checkpoint system, Belt crossing casualties would have continued at 2033-2041 rates. Our network has prevented an estimated 14,000 deaths over 15 years by providing safe, regulated passage."
