from the panopticonjob dept. walmass writes "In preparation for the DNC in Boston, [1]75 cameras monitored by the Federal government will be operating around the downtown Boston location. There are also an unspecified number of state police cameras, and 100 cameras owned by the Metro Boston Transit Authority. Quote: 'And it's here to stay: Boston police say the 30 or so cameras installed for the convention will be used throughout the city once the event is over. "We own them now," said police Superintendent Robert Dunford. "We're certainly not going to put them in a closet."'"
Maybe it's time to start making those high power IR emitters. Make them cheap enough and we can just hand them out to right-minded folk to drop here and there. Has anyone seen these cameras? Are they noticeable? At least some of them are supposedly on the central artery; your car can certainly spare 100W or so for some IR blasters... -- Riad S. Wahby rsw@jfet.org
