A few modifications and they couldn’t even use facial recognition efficiently.

Protesters, dressed as clowns, stand beside German riot police as they take part in a demostration against the upcoming G8 summit in Rostock, Germany, on Saturday, June 2, 2007. Several thousands people demonstrated against the G8 summit, which will start on Wednesday, June 6 in Heiligendamm at the Baltic Sea. Dozens of different groups, including communists, anarchists and environmentalists, were taking part and messages were mixed: Some urged action from the G-8 countries in the fight against HIV/AIDS, African poverty and climate change, while others questioned the legitimacy of the existence of the G-8 itself. The protest comes ahead of the three-day summit that opens Wednesday in the nearby northern resort town of Heiligendamm, where German Chancellor Angela Merkel hosts the leaders of the other G-8 nations _ Britain, France, Japan, Italy, Russia, Canada, and the United States.
