WASHINGTON -- The Canadian border could be lined with as many as 900 surveillance towers designed to track illegal immigrants attempting to sneak south under a contract expected to be awarded today by the U.S. government to a consortium led by defence and aerospace giant Boeing Co.

The U.S.-Mexican border will be lined with 1,800 towers equipped with sensors that can detect when a person steps onto American soil, a newspaper report said on Friday.

Infrared cameras will sense the body heat of possible intruders, and radars will track vehicles that may carry illegal immigrants and drugs into the United States, the Los Angeles Times reported.
It said the towers could lead to a virtual fence along 7,500 miles of the U.S.' borders with Mexico and Canada.

The 67-million-dollars contract to build the towers has been awarded to Boeing. But analysts said the project could be expanded to more than 2.5 billion dollars.

1. Typical ...

... those 900 cameras should be facing the other way. I think there will be more people trying to sneak NORTH of that border than the other way around.
