Do you want to see what is happening on the northern border?

"They come across in small airplanes and on foot, astride horses and atop snowmobiles. They hike and float and ski and dog-sled their way out of Canada and across Montana’s northern border, often smuggling drugs or people.
Sometimes they are caught. Sometimes not.
”We’ve tripled in manpower up here,” Moore said. ”We now have seven-day-a-week, 24-hour coverage, which wasn’t always the case before.”
But the real key to the 24/7 coverage is not manpower, but technology.
There are motion detectors in the woods these days, infrared cameras, heat sensors, magnetic detectors — and a lot more high-tech infrastructure no one is authorized to talk about.
The Canadian border, according to Meehan, will always be somewhat porous.
But the reason he doesn’t lose any sleep is because intelligence-gathering has been stepped up considerably. Agents often know what to look for, where and when, thanks to information-sharing between agencies and countries.
”It’s kind of a free-flow association of information, and it actually works very well in practice,” said Jim Bunner, supervisor at the Whitefish office of the Border Patrol."
What a difference the cooperation of a neighbor makes, I guess.
What do you think?
MB – terribly sorry to offend you….
and more…."Instead, those running the border — aside from the ”mules” carrying B.C. bud — tend to be South Koreans, many of them young women between 18 and 25. Whether they know it or not, he said, they’re often headed to work as prostitutes in major metropolitan areas.
The reason, Moore said, is Canada does not require an entry visa for South Korean visitors. And once in Canada, it’s a short trip across the northern border to the United States.
”We pick up a group of Koreans about every couple months,” Moore said.
To slow the flow, Moore said, the Border Patrol is stressing ”citizens’ academies,” special classes that teach everyday folk how to help federal agents.
”All these people in these little towns, they know what’s going on,” he said. ”The smallness of the towns along the border here is a huge help to us.”
oldlady – I can’t agree with that. When our southern neighbor doesn’t have universal education or even basic healthcare, we would end up paying for their poor through services already degraded by illegal immigration. There are reasons there are limits, and that solution ignores the reasons.

Would an emp knock my alarm system out? I own a store. How to secure my store?
I own a gun store and I have motion detectors, cameras, shatter detection, bars, locks, pretty much the works. I’m trying to figure out other things to do. Any ideas how my store could possibly be broken into? I know I don’t have to worry about small time crooks but I like to stay prepared.
The only thing I could think of is an emp (electromagnetic pulse)
If a robber was smart enough to produce a machine that created an emp would it knockout my cameras and alarm system etc? If they specifically targeted my motion detectors would they shut off? Would the alarm company know that my system went off line and send help?

Have a problem with a home security system. Any suggestions?
I have an older security system. Exxis is the brand with telephone connectors and wire not coax. I get audio but no picture from any of the cameras, three set up. I’m guessing it’s a problem with the monitor and would like to know if it is worth repairing or just replacing. Any suggestions on how to find the problem myself? Three cameras with motion detectors run through recorder. Have contacted Exxis and the monitor is obsolete and they, of course, suggest replacing with one of their current models.
