The Fence
I actually have the good fortune to speak occasionally with a fellow who is working on the Virtual Fence (Boeing contract). He spends every other two weeks out in Tuscon. Yesterday, he told me that while the towers are going up, there is a physical fence going up as well. Something like 2 inch pipes filled with concrete with 2 inches of space between then. 15 feet tall, 6 feet underground in solid concrete. I am going to get him to get some pictures. Apparently the plan is to build both systems. He told me that the Mexicans are throwing rocks and mooning the construction workers. 1 million $/mile. Seems like an excellent deal to me.
