    How does this unit handle plan view curved bridges?

    Is that the same type of concrete DJT was talking about using to build the wall? Hmmm?

    I don’t really care that much for walls. My own preference would be an electrified fence, about 50’ high, razor wire of course, land mines for a quarter mile or so in front of the wall, and one of those six-barrel Dillon MGs about every quarter mile and sensors to detect/destroy anything trying to go over or under the wall.

    That would work! Putting BP actually on Border would work too! Just saying.

    Israel is building a wall that goes 30 feet deep.
But those drug traffickers hire only the best tunnel men.
30 might not be enough.

    Seems a seismic sensor would pick up any underground activity that could easily be stopped.
Drop a few rattle snakes in each end and close up the entries.

    Wouldn’t Israel be all over that instead of building the 30 foot deep wall?
No NOTHING about seismic sensors. How far deep? How reliable? Thanks :)
How much ground can they cover?
Are they attached to a vehicle?

    Don’t really know. Just seems that that american technology could come up with some type of device

    Agreed.
Military must have something that can go a lot deeper than that.
Just figured Israel would implement it.

    Perhaps the Israelis are using seismic sensors, but choose not to tell the world all about them.
 
To: HartleyMBaldwin
    Then why build a brutally expensive 30 foot underground wall?

    To keep invaders out, of course.
 
To: HartleyMBaldwin
    You just said seismic sensor would do the job. Why spend a FORTUNE on a wall?

    I didn’t say any such thing. Try reading my post.

    Try not contradicting yourself. Look the word up :)

    I saw a documentary on how they built the world's tallest bridge, I think it was in France.
 
Incredible engineering........I wonder what would happen if they made one of those tall pillars a foot too short........LOL!

    “Perhaps the Israelis are using seismic sensors, but choose not to tell the world all about them.”
That was my first post to you today, in its entirety. How in the world can you get from that that I said anything at all about the effectiveness of seismic sensors? There’s not even that implication.
Reading comprehension is good. If you want to quarrel, try elsewhere.
