Cant believe there are people advocating minefields when we've spent the greater half of a decade trying to remove minefields and help people all over the world deal with their mutilations and dead family members. "About 100,000 mines are removed each year, but until recently 2 million more were being planted each year, At the current rate it would take 1,100 years to rid the world of mines. That's assuming no new ones are laid, One deminer is killed and two are injured for every 5,000 mines cleared." - ICRC pamphlet Landmines must be Stopped, 1997 "In some cases the overwhelming number of casualties have been civilians, this often coincides with a period of refugee return to heavily mined areas. In Namibia 88% of post-1980 casualties were civilians, in Mozambique (1994) 68%, and in Georgia (1994-95) 80%. Children can be undercounted as it is estimated that 85% die before reaching a hospital. In one instance, when refugees returned to Hargeisa in northern Somalia in 1991, 75% of mine victims were children, whose natural playfulness and herding and wood-gathering occupations put them at greater risk." - Red Cross, Red Crescent, 1997, Issue 2 Mining the border wont do much more than digging a trench but it will be blowing up children for generations to come.

I have a compromise. Scatter shredded and burnt bits of clothes and pork bones in the area, put some craters in and put up some warning signs so people think it's a minefield

[QUOTE=Malek23Khelif;50685344][IMG]https://sojourney.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/wall_cross_section.gif[/IMG] Tunisia Should do something like this but instead of 8 feet deep trench will be 80 feet better and the 10 feet wall be 30 feet that is better[/QUOTE] There are some massive design flaws with that. Here's an improved version. [img]http://i.imgur.com/WmxBXIL.png[/img]

[QUOTE=TheBloodyNine;50685576]Congrats you said what literally all of us had thought in thirty seconds.[/QUOTE] Did you read the older posts in the thread? Everyone said that it'll be too big, too deep, too guarded.

To me it seems fine. As long as noone can just drive across, and there's an alert system, it should give security forces time to catch up to just about anyone who crosses. With that water level in the area, it's also not going to be possible to tunnel under it or anything like that.
