Border fence plagued by glitches, long delays

By JACQUES BILLEAUDAP

PHOENIX -An ambitious, $6.7 billion government project to secure nearly the entire Mexican border with a "virtual fence" of cameras, ground sensors and radar is in jeopardy after a string of technical glitches and delays. ....

The Bush administration launched the project in 2005 to help secure the border against illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and other intruders. It was conceived as another layer of protection, in addition to thousands of Border Patrol agents and 650 miles of real fences. ....

Originally, the virtual fence was supposed to be completed by 2011; that date has slipped to 2014, largely because of technical problems.

Among other things, the radar system had trouble distinguishing between vegetation and people when it was windy. Also, the satellite communication system took too long to relay information in the field to a command center. By the time an operator moved a camera to take a closer look at a spot, whatever had raised suspicion was gone. ....

1. the border fence project was a contractor giveaway and used to pacify the minutemen types

knowing people who surveyed the areas, there was no way that this job could be done. Miles of the "wall" are nothing but virtual walls consisting of cameras linked to stations miles away with little monitoring.

2. Not to mention "trouble distinguishing between vegetation and people" n/t
