The Katrina of All Fences
2) Respectable Bush comprehensivist types like Chertoff want to substitute a sophisticated hi-tech "virtual fence" for the crude actual physical fence. 3) Border control types say the "virtual fence" won't work. 4) Respectable Bush comprehensivists like Chertoff in fact cut back on actual fencing, choosing the "virtual fence." 5) Where it's installed, the actual fence works. 6) Where it's installed, the "virtual fence" doesn't work . 7) Chertoff feels sorry for himself ("I thought I heard myself getting roundly criticized ... as squishy and soft").

Monitor listens in on neighbours; Silent intrusion exposes ...
A Pembroke senior has unexpectedly discovered that he owns a window into the private lives of some of his neighbours. Leo Ranger, who lives on Isabella Street, says he was rummaging in a cupboard when as long unused baby monitor fell out. "We must have got it when my daughter was a baby," he said. "She's almost 30 now." He said he accidentally hit the 'on' button on the device. "A while later I could hear somebody snoring," he said. "It sounded like it was in my house." Mr. Ranger lives alone with his dog. Upon further investigation, he realized that the sound was coming from the monitor. With his curiosity piqued, he took the monitor with him in his car and started cruising the neighbourhood.
