For us. with great transportation crossings as we have in Washington State. including ferry transportation crossings. there was the instance in the Northwest where a terrorist was caught coming across from Canada into Port Angeles who was detained. But we are here today to talk about the vastness of the northern border that sometimes is penetrated by people who are not checking in at various checkpoints but try to sneak into the country along the vast. rugged areas of our Northwest terrain. So it is very important we get tough on border security by passing this amendment. which has cuttingedge technology that will actually help save this country dollars and provide greater border security. The unmanned aerial vehicles. as Senator BAUcUS has talked about. are already being deployed on dangerous patrols in the Middle East and in some places along our borders here at home. But the UAVs.
