Say you are going to spend a shitload of money, pass legislation to secure the funding, over spend the budget during the planning phase, take an absurd amount of time and then say the technology has changed.

No need to re-invent the wheel (or take out the old concrete and man-power one). They have a system in place that works just fine.

“DHS briefed Congress today on my decision to end SBInet as originally conceived and on a new path forward for security technology along the Southwest border,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said today. “There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution to meet our border technology needs, and this new strategy is tailored to the unique needs of each border region.”

DHS will utilize some of the existing technologies that were found to be useful in what the agency is calling a southwest border security technology plan.

The new DHS plan for border security is two pronged. The first prong is to ignore age-old, proven technologies involving concrete and armed men, as for example used in Israel. The second prong is to sue the pants off the state of Arizona for trying to improve its border security.
