Crazy. I don’t like the idea of mass public surveillance, although as some of the commentators noted - we don’t really have any right to privacy in public. We need other means to keep the lid on that.
Then, a hard look at the trade-off between privacy and safety. In 2004, when casualties in Iraq were rising due to roadside bombs, Ross McNutt and his team came up with an idea. With a small plane and a 44 mega-pixel camera, they figured out how to watch an entire city all at once, all day long. Whenever a bomb detonated, they could zoom onto that spot and then, because this eye in the sky had been there all along, they could scroll back in time and see - literally see - who planted it.This caught my attention because it's complete bull$*** on every level. This Ross McNutt and his geek tech didn't help us out at all in Iraq, and here it sounds like he's trying to manipulate the public into thinking this a good idea by pimping his military service.
