I had this idea today-


They should cover the entire length of the border with live web-cams. (At night they could use IR, or some form of night vision.)

The key is this: we need a website where thousands of volunteers would sign up to monitor the cameras. When someone sees movement, they just click a mouse button. Of course a second (and perhaps third) confirmation would be needed- and after that, the location automatically gets reported to local police or border patrol.



Spread this idea, if you like it, perhaps it will take off somehow.

Wasn't someone talking about this?....good idea, though.

You know, we need a website person handy, every time we come up with good ideas. So we can see if implementing them would be possible. Agree?

Anyone know a webmaster/designer?

That's a pretty good idea you got there Mr. McKing.

You ought to put together an email to Minutemen HQ.

According to the Minuteman web site:

Surveillance cameras on the fencing will be monitored via computer by registered Minutemen across the country.

Good idea. To add on a bit---there is now some prety good software that can do the "1st cut" monitoring. The software could flag "suspicious" situations. The humans could weed out the false positives. Many less humans needed.

Funny, I had the same thought 3 days ago, must be a cosmic thought wave :)
