A friend of mine works in an IT department for a major tech company. Three of the people in his department were just transfered to their new contract. They are rewiring some of the network for a highway system in California that monitors for explosives. Now, he doesn't know anything more than that. In California there are several highway stretches that have large metal telephone poles stretching accross the two right lanes of a major three lane highway. On top of the poles are two metal boxes about the size large bread boxes. Now any idea what those boxes are? and if anyone has heard of this monitoring system and if so what agency is responsible for this? Also does anyone know who is responsible for all the cameras that now monitor the highways? Almost every overpass in Sacramento has one that views each stretch of the highway. -Ian Welcome to 1984 as with all goverment projects, its a bit late and slightly overbudget -IB.
