Pakistan army officials have raised this issue with Americans many times before and they have made it clear that without border control, its just impossible to be successful in this operation. if they cant really seal the border, surely, they can fence and mine it and beef up border security.

Fence is pointless as it can be easily cut.

Mines would do the trick but there would be a lot of backlash from human rights groups as innocent kids can step on those mines and lose limbs.

You would need hundreds of thousands of men to effectively seal the entire border which is not possible as there aren’t that many troops.

Best option is to create an anti-taliban force among the tribes like the Lashkars, and deep cover operatives within the TTP, aerial surveillance, drone strikes, and have a quick reaction force which can easily seal any pocket of TTP and defeat them in piece meal.
