18. Now That's What I Call Surveillance!
This is fascinating on so many levels. The bureaucracy and civil service required to process and cross-reference the information is mindboggling. NSA-like, even! And, yes, out there somewhere there's a chance ofclaiming a few needles in that haystack of data, after paying $100,000+ a year to a few thousand FTEs. But I'm also certain there will be plenty of freewheeling folks who will find those cameras an irresistible target for vandalism. Who wouldn't?? And for the few of us still trying to face reality and all its' charms, doesn't this ring a bell? Old J Edgar was constantly knicker-knotted about us citizens finding out about secrets that were obviously in wide circulation everywhere else in the world. Of course his own proclivities and criminality were probably at the heart of that, but here again, the perps in this case will have no problem fixing their plates. It will be Sally and Sam that get caught for having a mean anti-Blair bumpersticker on their car.
