Sweden plans to use digital “geo-fences” in larger cities to protect against potential terror attacks.
Infrastructure Minister Tomas Eneroth hopes to introduce the “geo-fences” in urban areas next year and which use technology that can digitally stop large vehicles or reduce their speed.
In April, a stolen van was used to mow down pedestrians on a Stockholm street in a terror attack which killed five people. Since then, Swedish authorities have worked to increase security against these kind of attacks, including the implementation of more physical barriers in pedestrianized areas, increased video surveillance and tightened security at large public events.
On Drottninggatan, the street targeted in April’s attack, authorities have already doubled the number of concrete lions which are in place to stop vehicles driving down the pedestrianized streets. […]
However, [Stockholm Transport Commissioner Daniel] Halldén said that such barriers would be ineffective in the event of a truck attack like the one in New York on Tuesday, in which an attacker drove at high speed down a bicycle lane, targeting cyclists and pedestrians. “What we would need is a system where no heavy vehicles can drive in the city center without a box regulating their speed,” he explained. “Then, if a truck drove too quickly or in an area where driving is forbidden, it would be stopped.” …

That’ll stop em.
Boy, then the muslins will be all stumped and won’t be able to think of any other ways to kill lots of people.
I thought the were going to use Facebook comments and Twitter tweets to stop terrorists. Those sound like “digital geo-fences” weapons.
Warning to terrorists: Stop your activities or we’ll close down your Facebook and Twitter accounts. Then no one will know that you even exist. Take that you camel-humping, digital weanie.
LOL, Ballsless and now Brainless Swedes will be installing "Got Muslims" boxes in their trucks, 'cause they "Got Muslims" and Volvo's got brains.
A friend put one of these “fences” up to keep his dog from running off the end of his dock. The minute it was installed and turned on the dog ran right through it into the water and unfortunately never seen again. These “fences” don’t work. PERIOD.
I searched but cannot find the deft Mark Steyn quote where he says that EU nations are busy erecting barriers around all sorts of buildings and parks, and wouldn’t it be easier to build a big barrier around their nation?
Of course the EU and Monsieur Soros have purposely destroyed national borders for the express purpose of world socialist domination, but Steyn’s biting sarcasm is welcome to those of us who still believe in individual freedoms and private ownership.
If they ever built a big barrier around the EU, it’d be to mimic Stalin’s “socialism in one country” and make the entire continent a prison.
