“Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff made it official Friday — the government has conditionally accepted a high-tech virtual fence in southern Arizona aimed at detecting and intercepting illegal entries into the country. Chertoff said the Border Patrol will begin a 45-day trial use of a virtual fence made of nine tall towers strung across 28 miles near Sasabe southwest of Tucson. The trial will test the efficiency of the towers, packed with an array of sensors, radar and cameras. The government has paid contractor Boeing Co. about $16 million of its $20 million pricetag.” (12/08/07) Link: http://ktar.com/?nid=6&sid=667449 Filed under: RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
