San Diego Fire Department Called for Rescue

Three would-be trespassers were hoping to scale the double row of 30 foot barriers on the border in dense fog. It is theorized that someone assisted them for the first one, but decided to flee when the fog-slicked fence froze the people at the top of the second wall. Like wayward cats up a tree, they waited for discovery and rescue. Not wanting to risk death or broken bones by falling from that height probably had a lot to do with it. Unlike cats, they were not sure to come down OK on their own. Authorities were more than happy to help them down.

Unlike previous barriers, which were shorter and easily bypassed, this new section is more difficult. Even with special equipment, there are sensors that alert agents that there is a bypass attempt in progress. This means they are already on the way once they attempt to scale the first section. It is a far more effective configuration than what was there, let’s make sure it all gets built!
