NEW YORK (AP) - Pressure is building for greater use of video cameras to keep watch over the nation's cities - particularly in transportation systems and other spots vulnerable to terrorism - after the bombings in London.

Lord knows that those half a million security camera's stopped the bombings. They also stopped the idiot-run copy-cat bombings a week later. They also stopped...

...they stop nothing. They are wonderful for 20/20 hindsight. They are amazing at getting cash from red-light runners & speeders. Otherwise, they invade what little anonymity we have left & keep government led stalkers busy. I wonder if video surveillance would have (or could have) stopped Mohamed Atta & friends?

My neighbor is a fat, cajun bigot. I already know more about him than I care to. Like Gonz says, it doesn't prevent anything.

nope. It just provides us with a greater opportunity to screen reality t.v like broadcasts of (and inevitably... in a macabre but kind of way; profit from) such mayhem on prime-time tv....(how long will it be before we see programmes, for instance, titled "when terrorists attack" 1, 2 and...3 i wonder?)

That fact however won't prevent the rise of (already more prevalent than you are probably aware of) intrusive big-brother type technologies, its the fear in people and the increasing demand for some sort of false sense of security to protect us where security doesn't exist. We're our own worst enemy, though thats stating the obvious... isn't it?
