That's been a question that's been debated many times before... [Steve,
how about slipping a ruling about that into the Barrier spell description
in SR3?]

AFAIK there is no definitive rule about this anywhere, so it's a matter of
what the GM feels is best for game balance and how it appears to work. I
myself don't let it degrade, on the basis that a field of magical energy
would quickly seal holes made in it, unlike a brick wall for example.
