And right on cue, the flush our civil liberties down the toilet boys
rear their ugly heads
"We Need More Cameras, and We Need Them Now"
http://j.mp/14A4fY1 (Slate)
"Cities under the threat of terrorist attack should install networks of
cameras to monitor everything that happens at vulnerable urban
installations. Yes, you don't like to be watched. Neither do I. But of
all the measures we might consider to improve security in an age of
terrorism, installing surveillance cameras everywhere may be the best
choice. They're cheap, less intrusive than many physical security
systems, and-as will hopefully be the case with the Boston
bombing-they can be extremely effective at solving crimes."

This kind of misguided and factually vacuous proposal is more
dangerous to freedom than all the terrorism on the planet.
