In its reasoning for the order, CBP said the level of monitoring required to secure America\u2019s long land borders from the sky was too cumbersome for people alone. To research and build the drones, CBP handed $500,000 to Mitre Corp., a trusted nonprofit Skunk Works that was already furnishing border police with prototype rapid DNA testing and smartwatch hacking technology.<\/p><p>Mitre\u2019s unmanned aerial vehicles didn\u2019t take off.
