Putin has ordered Russia's borders sealed. Too bad we don't follow the example.

Russia is such a huge country that they can't possibly guard every mile of their borders. What they can do is seal known entry/egress points and do their best to police their borders elsewhere. I can understand and even agree with sealing their borders given what's been going on. The flip side of that, however, is the potential for tyranny. The balance between security and tyranny is very delicate.
