Surveillance Police State.

   Operation Virtual Police State...
   A company named Persistent Systems hired by the LA county Sheriff to do
   full time full spectrum surveillance of the whole of LA county was
   'outed' a few years ago. When it was in the news I happened by the
   local city bus terminal and sure enough a sticker on the entranceway
   glass door said the site surveillance was also being done by the same
   company.... I didn't have my camera with me at the time, and when I
   returned the next morning the sticker had changed to their new name...
   Dojo. (sort of like blackwater >> academi).
   All just as well. It's a federal crime to take pictures of public
   transport facilities thanks to the CIA's own al-Qaeda, Osama, and an
   airplane attack on a certain NYC tower complex.

   Baltimore billionaires donate (!) to the company

     Billionaire donors Laura and John Arnold support far more in
     Maryland than police surveillance
     The surveillance program — which has sent a single-engine plane
     flying 8,000 feet above Baltimore to record hundreds of hours of
     video — began in January with an earlier, $120,000 gift from the
     Arnolds to Persistent Surveillance Systems, the department's
     contractor on an effort that police officials never disclosed to the
     mayor before starting the monitoring.
