Cameras track pupils at West Hills High. Campus' cameras see pupils' every move. Most shrug it off, but privacy advocates don't. ... West Hills High sits on the cutting edge of the emerging surveillance society. ... Demand for [surveillance] products will grow, as people are tracked ... even [at] places such as the Third Street Promenade shopping district in Santa Monica. ACLU: "Once privacy is gone, you can't get it back." ... "It's been so incremental, we almost didn't notice [the surveillance]."
