Building A Virtual Wall To Protect Our Borders.

The article focuses on the plan of SBInet, part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Secure Border Initiative, to create an integrated surveillance system to curb illegal immigration across the country. It is stated that SBInet's primary goal is to provide the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) department with improved oversight about the country's international boundary. Companies that will supply technologies to SBInet include Boeing Co., DRS Technologies Inc. and Kollsman Inc. Accordingly, the electronic devices will be used to detect, monitor and classify potential and actual border-crossers.
