stimulus or not but, check this out:
[excerpt from article]
As much as $200 million for border security fence, infrastructure and technology for securing the nation's southwest border. Another $28 million will be available for the purchase of tactical communication equipment and radios for border security functions. The funds will likely be used by the DHS' Customs and Border Patrol agency, which is currently deploying a high-tech fence called SBInet along the Mexican and Canadian borders. The fence will include all-weather electro-optic gear, infrared cameras, radar and digital communications equipment. In addition, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol will have nearly $101 million available to buy and deploy "non-intrusive" inspection systems at U.S. ports, while the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will get about $200 million for explosives detection systems .
