00:00 The border is the place where countries exercise their territorial control and jurisdiction.
00:08 It is the place where compliance to the country's security, health, agriculture, trade, and
00:16 other laws take place.
00:19 It is the place where compliance is assessed and enforced.
00:26 However, the concept of the border has changed qualitatively speaking because today, while
00:38 the physical border still exists, there is also the virtual border which has brought
00:46 its own complications and has become even more critical to manage and control even more
00:57 than the physical border.
00:59 So as we struggle in harnessing our efforts to control and manage the physical border,
01:06 we are confronted with the virtual border which is giving us even more complications.
01:14 As you are aware, traditionally we have always looked at our national borders in terms of
01:21 the airspace, the sea, and also the land.
