From Tech Bugs Stymie Virtual Border Fence
A contract with Boeing and 20 million dollars later, a 28 mile “fence” composed of radars, motion sensors, and other high tech tracking equipment has sprung into being in Arizona. One problem: it isn’t functioning. For all you out there familiar with government contracts, see if this sounds familiar: project is supposed to begin testing in June, radar goes down, software goes down 2 months afterward, and the entire system has a problem “integrating” according to the Secretary for Homeland Security. Man, I love when my tax dollars get spent efficiently!
