Sonar Fences

will posted 03/04/08 @ 1:39AM EST

So, I was going through my Google Reader, and I came across the headline: "Border virtual fence project delayed again until at least 2011". What do you think of when you see this? My first thought was: "LOST!" Why LOST? Well, on the island, there is a Sonar fence that senses when anything crosses its virtual path and sends high powered sound waves into it which either stuns or kills it.

I was really disappointed when I read through the article and clicked on a link to the original article that Engadget had posted about the fence. That article is titled: "Border Patrol's mobile sensor tower passes first test". How does sensor tower get changed into virtual fence? People really need to work on their deceptive writing.

Godspeed.
