    The report that still another tunnel has been found along the Mexican border has raised questions about federal border enforcement.
    There is hardly any buffer along the border, despite the fact that Secretary Chertoff has the authority to create one.
    Despite the availability of effective seismic methods for detecting tunneling activity, there is no record that the DHS is using these methods.
    "Stopping the tunneling into the U.S. is simple matter," said Glenn Spencer of American Border Patrol, "Secretary Chertoff need only to implement the Secure Fence Act of 2006 and bury a couple of strings of geophones to put a complete halt to this nonsense."
