America's unmanned borders, this is catchy

The more the U.S cut long term costs by making their borders drones by electronics, the more likely folks are going to exploit those borders with cyber attacks. I guess they aren't outsourcing the code for this to china, like they do their other defence systems. So yeah, The U.S is about to go fully unmanned at the borders? Ya, this will catch on with the terrorist's i'm sure. The more you depend on technology to protect, the more vulnerable you are from attack. You can't rely on these systems all the time. The U.S needs a reality check, they keep making everything electronic, thats got to be a bad thing.
