X-raying cargo is a routine activity on the EU's land and sea borders. I assume they do it for air freight and luggage too.
Here's an example x-ray [1].
At the land borders there are large pillars which the lorry driver must drive between (and the same by railway tracks).
I don't know if that's enough to detect steel replaced by gold. It would seem too small to notice.

- panarky 3y agoThat link is to vapor detection of narcotics, not x-ray. And those vertical towers are almost certainly radiation detectors.
- voxic11 3y agoPretty sure he was just linking for the picture on that page which is a full vehicle x-ray produced from a system like https://www.smithsdetection.com/products/hcvg/ https://www.smithsdetection.com/products/hcvg/ > The system’s high-performance imaging capability provides the operator with detailed radioscopic images of container or vehicle and its contents, with organic and inorganic material discrimination and colourisation based on atomic number, allowing for rapid and reliable results in a single scan. It colorizes the x-ray based on the atomic composition of the materials so this system could probably detect a bunch of solid gold parts.
