I think the whole idea is to make it tense.
15,000 troops tend to do that.
Hopefully the idea is to make it secure. Tense should just be a byproduct and only for those who prefer a porous border. Those who feel more secure are less likely to be tense. 8>)
Troops, razor wire, Media and invaders. All that would make me anxious. Esp the media and invaders.
