Norway may put a fence along part or all of the 123-mile border it shares with Russia, a move inspired by a similar project in its Nordic neighbor Finland.

      Finnish border officials say fences equipped with top-notch surveillance equipment — to be located mostly around crossing points — are needed to better monitor and control any migrants attempting to cross over from Russia and give officials time to react.

      A fence won’t stop anyone, but it can detect people, which sounds like the point.

      It’s a bit more than a line in the sand, though, which I suspect is the point.
