Book excerpt: The Dept. of Homeland Security's Secure Border Initiative Network (SBInet) is a multiyear, multibillion dollar program to deliver surveillance and decision-support technologies that create a virtual fence and situational awareness along the nation's borders with Mexico and Canada. Managed by DHS's Customs and Border Protection (CBP), SBInet is to strengthen CBP's ability to identify, deter, and respond to illegal breaches at and between border points of entry. This report determined: (1) whether SBInet testing has been effectively managed, including the types of tests performed and whether they were well planned and executed; and (2) what the results of testing show. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
