If true, that is a design flaw. This could be entirely made up through.

“If true, that is a design flaw”.

I agree if the story is true.

I thought the wall was going to incorporate sensors above and below ground.

One way to solve this (or at least make it more difficult to cut through) is to make the slats hollow and put steel rods inside the hollow slats that rotate (they could be suspended and rotate freely).

When they cut through the slat they would hit the rod. The steel rod would spin and be very difficult to cut.

Of course, you could counter this by locking the hanging, free-spinning rod and then cut through it.

It's an arms race.

Any barrier can be gotten through eventually. Unless we’re going to man them like castle walls this is the game we’ll be playing with this wall forever. They’ll break it, we’ll repair it, they’ll break it again, we repair again. Do Lung Bridge.

OK WaPo— send a photographer to photo the “holes” cause they don’t repair them if there are any.

Show the holes, Show the holes. The steel in the bollards can not be cut with any commercially available cutting blades in a freaking reciprocating saw-— sheesh. “Jaws of Life” can’t even bend them, and there are... sensors on the sections.

Either way-— prove what you say Bezo the Slave Owner of the ceeeeee eyyyye AAAAAAA “investment subsidy” business genius— not!

Ditto what you said. If true it is a flaw. If is true that is.

I find the description of the ease of sawing then bending to be quite implausible.

More likely than not, FAKE NEWS!

The WP needs to stop pretending that their wishful thinking is actually “news”.

No wall is impenetrable, the entire point of it is to allow border patrol to detect and react in time to breaches. There will be monitoring backing up the wall too.
