#1 Quarantine is the best thing to do until the infection subsides.

#2 I don't understand why an underground barrier is needed if Israel has underground sensors.

#3 An underground wall; what an interesting idea. The should call it the flailing wall.

#4 Shovel ready jobs?

re:#2 ditto. What's the range on those sensors?

#5 Why not just fill the existing above-ground wall with sea water?

#6 Didn't Ariel Sharon propose a trench filled with sea water?

#7 Won't help much with a real threat, like airborne munitions. Alternatively it will help with preventing subsidence in new settlements. Perhaps they are anticipating deflecting a tidal surge.

#8 lord garth -- correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't South Korea have the same problem twenty years ago? I thought they used sensors to eliminate infiltration.

#9 Maybe the Paleos wouldn't believe in 'sensors', but they can understand a wall. Should cut down on tunnel attempts, save lives, reduce the carbon footprint, etc.

#10 The wall could hold them until the troops get there, or force them to dig even deeper to get under it. The tunnel diggers have been busy recently: Hamas is digging six miles of tunnels per month.

#11 Underground tunnels are great for storing H2S. So I hear

#12 The Egyptian barrier has had little effect.

I suspect this is mis-information, intended to get the Paleos to dig deeper and more likely to collapse tunnels.
