Prisons and prison nations, like North Korea or the old East Germany, have
an interest in preventing tunnels out.

I saw a mythbusters episode showing an ancient chinese tunnel defense
system that involved a deep well and drum that essentially acted as an
amplifier for the scratching sounds of a digger.  They were able to detect
would-be tunnellers with surprising accuracy.  However, that was protecting
a castle, not a country border.  For that, the chinese built a wall that
was pretty great. :p
