Raytheon has a wall that's made out of the same technology that they use for Active Denial. It can not only burn the crap out of you if you try to cross it, it detects motion near the wall.

I am semi aware of some of the active denial systems available but am not knowledgeable of the cost of the systems. I am also aware all you have to do is fry or make it very uncomfortable in a given area and the traffic will stop.
So what do you think of an electronic wall ?

I think it's a better idea than a physical wall, but I also know that all one needs to do is take a "vacation" to the US and stay in order to illegally immigrate.
Though, it would probably help cut down on contraband imports - though legalizing would entirely eliminate that as a problem.
I'd be interested to know what percentage of imam immigration is currently from "walk overs" versus "overstayers."
