I recall (not very well) Popular Electronics mag
in the 60s had some kind of doppler that would
pick up human/deer/cattle movement at a
reported 1/2 mile distance.
"Readout" was a microammeter, I think.
I remember the photo of the thing working
as it was pointed toward a cow in a field.

They used to run a "government expo" at the Riviera. I went through
the exhibits a few two seasons, then the event moved elsewhere.
Anyway, lots of intruder detection techonology was demonstrated. One
of the more interesting is to lay fiber optic cable around the
perimeter or through a chain link fence. When the fiber optic cable
was compressed, you could determine the location via a time domain
reflectometer. Very simple and hard to detect, well except in the
desert when the land never heals after being disturbed.

I haven't checked lately, but at one time the Riviera Hotel had a
display case of badges from conference attendees. Pretty cool stuff,
like FBI badges.
