The BP Commander of the Tucson sector told us that he is against it...he named excess sensor activity as one of his major concerns last month.
He is worried that the MMP will cause the USBP to wear out their fingers pushing the 'reset' button on the sensor alarm panel.
He should be happy. He'll be able to report to Washington that the apprehension rate in his sector dropped significantly. Of course, they will pat themselves on the back, and claim that Operation Twiddlefingers was responsible, instead of the MMP. And he will reap the resultant kudos and pay grade increases. Ahh, the US Government at work.

" Illegals sense my power, but I deny them my essense"
I spent some time in the military working with sensors. I worked with the same sensor systems used by the Border Patrol. Proper emplacement would have the sensors deployed in "strings" that would be activated in sequence providing not only an alarm but also a probable direction of movement. Further analysis of the data would also allow the determination of target speed. The information could then be plotted on a map; capture sites could be determined and manned prior to the arrival of the bad guys.
Review of the sensor activation pattern would quickly indicate that a group of cattle or a known presence such as the Minutemen were causing the activation negating the need to send an agent out to the sensor site to investigate.
This all means either the Border Patrol isn't using the sensor system properly or that the admin types are blowing smoke at the unknowing public.
