The United States border patrol is hiring 12,000 new border patrol agents but having a tough time recruiting. This is because the FBI, the military and the TSA are all trying to recruit more people. Local police departments simply cannot find enough people to fill all the positions to protect the citizens. This is turning into a crisis and recently the Online Think Tank considered using technology as a possible solution.

Currently the United States government has contracts with a firm to put a virtual fence along the Mexican - US border. This indeed may work in many places, but we also need other technologies to prevent illegal aliens from entering our country. What if we use black light projections to create shadows and then those crossing the border would not know if the shadow is a real person or not.

A shadow creation type device would come in handy for national defense and security on our borders. Such a device has absolutely killer applications, for instance the Border patrol or possibly security in the Green zone in Iraq to protect the new government, US diplomats, military and citizens. We might also use these shadow creation devices at home in guarding our infrastructure facilities, protecting military bases and government buildings.

By using the shadow creation device to project Random showings of shadows, those who wish us harm would be either scared off or attempt to find a totally different tactic in their endeavors, thus protecting US assets, personnel and our nation. A shadow creation device would not be difficult to make with current technology and the price would be low enough that it could see widespread use. Perhaps this is something we should be thinking on.
