America's other border

By Vivek Krishnamurthy

The Christian Science Monitor has a great series of photographs on its website documenting life on "America's Other Border" -- that is, its 4000 mile (longest undefended) border with Canada. It was a surprise to me as a Canadian just how much security has been beefed up below the surface since the 9/11 attacks, and of course, one wonders how longer the border will remain undefended given the current paranoia on Capitol Hill about border security. Whatever happens, the photos are wonderfully evocative of life in border communities from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
