US Border Patrol Spends Millions Billions of Dollars to Upgrade Video Technology to "Acceptable"
60 Minutes did a story last night on the US Border Patrol finally getting technology advanced enough to differentiate between an illegal immigrant crossing the US border and a tumbleweed. If a giant physical fence doesn't work, this definitely will!
While the technology—especially the crystal clear infra-red images—did look impressive, it seemed that the border patrol was just putting on a show for 60 Minutes. Everyone involved was a government agent, AND they already rehearsed the same exact situation the day before.
