Other comments attached to the Globe article pretty much stress the American insanity.  Here are some really good ones:

"Show me a 20 foot wall, and I'll show you a 21 foot ladder" Dr. Winston O'Boogie 6:24 AM

This one contains a pointed reference to 9/11:
How's that fence's plane resistance?
“A republican stands up in congress and says 'I got a really bad idea!!' and the democrat stands up after him and says 'And I can make it sh!tt!er!!'” - Lewis Black

These two are particularly astute:
To keep people out or to keep people in? foodfuelandfighterjets 6:07 AM
Shades of Handmaid's Tale -- they'll use it to keep people in.  Randal Oulton 6:38 AM
