It doesn't sound like they are planning to start 100% scanning in 3 months, but to report to Congress what would be involved.
What is wrong with looking into it? If the technology becomes available to do it quickly, what is wrong with that? There could be some cost "saving" by not needing as many border patrol at the checkpoints for inspections.
Heck, if they can figure out how to do it quicker than what is done now, maybe the border crossings will actually speed up?
Won't know until it is looked into.
