1. Make all the camera feeds accessible to the public. Afterall, shouldn't more eyes help a place be safe?
2. Install cameras around Police HQs. Don't they want to be safe too?
Of course those who advocate surveillance in the same of safety are also the first ones to ensure they are never on camera themselves...
This is one of the things that makes me laugh with annoyance at the signs at, say, Customs and Immigration when entering the U.S., or at the entrances to courthouses, or (formerly) around airport screening areas. "No pictures or video are permitted. Cell phone use prohibited."
What, precisely, is going on that shouldn't be photographed? If one camera in the ceiling is good, aren't 931 cameras all that much better?
As always, the safety of the enterprise is paramount.
I think the logic is that the bad guys would use the pictures to identify the weaknesses and evade the screenings.
Now, whether the point of Airline security really is to catch the bad guys is a whole different story...
If that is true, surely thousands of pictures could be used to find an fix the weaknesses.
I suspect that photos are disallowed is because the TSA et al are afraid of embarrassment, and they should be.
Send someone not important: “You know what? I’m glad I forgot how to light my liquid-based shoe bombs that need exactly 101ml of fluid to blow a fatal hole in a plane. The inflight meal was much better than I thought it would be. I mean it wasn’t great but it was not horrible either. When I got off the plane, There were infidels and uhhh there was security and umm stuff. I didn’t take any pictures because there was a sign that said I shouldn’t. It was easy to find which suitcase was mine because of the rainbow colored strap my niece chose for me to put on it. What do you think of the mouse ears I got you from Disneyland? ...boss?”
