Detection of suspicious individuals by clothing color. Sounds like Fujitsu is using the TSA training manual to train this system.

I'm sure "by skin color" will be an option as well.

Also note "strengthened marketing" and "customer counting" being listed as selling points on the airport scenario of a "citywide surveillance" system.

> Detection of suspicious individuals by clothing color.

Police seems a crime and reports that suspect is wearing a green shirt. Surveillance system reports everybody that is wearing a green shirt on walking distance of the occurrence.

A dozen people are arrested, one of whom is shot. Meanwhile, the suspect changes into a yellow t-shirt in a phone booth and makes his getaway. He is caught several days later, of course, as he would have been without the cameras. Total licensing fees to the city are $12,000.

Maybe they just missed a comma between "clothing" and "color".
