Webcam homeland

] America has 47,000 power plants, airports and other
] "critical infrastructure facilities."
]
] Walker believes a terrorist can get within 100 feet of
] most of them, unchallenged and undetected, and kill or
] injure thousands.
]
] But if onsite cameras beamed photos to the World Wide
] Web, Americans could monitor these sites from home. If
] they spied a potential attacker a masked man
] trying to scale a power plant fence, or a van parked next
] to a reservoir they could alert security agents
] with a click of the mouse. Agents would call local
] authorities and help avert disaster.
]
] Walker envisions spotters getting up to $10 per hour,
] paid by the government agencies and companies that need
] protecting. He wants to sell USHomeGuard to the federal
] government for $1, then charge fees to run the system.

This is so freaking Orwellian, its scary. Keep an eye on this one folks...
