Border Patrol officials said some civilian observers set off motion detectors, complicating rather than aiding the agency's mission.

This is stupid. So how do they distinguish against things like wild animals (e.g. deer, elk, wild pigs, etc?) - that's a straw man. If the motion detectors only set up to detect vehicles then the motion detectors are pretty much useless for people who choose a stealthier method.

Thanks, gal, you get it.

The sensor issue is a red herring.

I have a co-worker who is a sensor operator, and he has posted on several of these threads with that observation.
