Known as the Integrated Surveillance Intelligence System. or ISIS. these cameras are a critical link for helping secure our border. Unfortunately. this system is not working as planned. What began as a program to monitor the border crossing of illegal immigrants. drug trafficker. and even terrorists has morphed into what one of our witnesses called "a major project gone awry." According to a 2004 GSA audit. the problems go even further. For example. the initial $2 million contract was awarded without full competition. Just 1 year later that same contract ballooned to over $200 million. again without full competition. and the problems do not end there.
