¹Beginning in 2005, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection changed its reporting practices; therefore, figures are not comparable to previous years' data.
²Beginning in 2006, "Threat" is no longer collected as a type of weapon.
³Prior to 2007, data were not collected from the Bureau of Land Management.
