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.
