i got the idea for this after i saw a news story on local tv the other night.

recently a curious citizen noticed that a camera had been placed on a telephone pole near his house in his alley overnight. a few weeks later several others were discoverd in different alleys across town.

no one seemed to know who/why they were place there. that's when the news stations began to investigate.

it seems that our local law enforcement (non-elected, government officials) decided that the best way to combat crime was to secretly install video cameras in the alleyways of certain neighborhoods unbenounced to the public.

only after they were hounded by the local news media did they admit to it...

the reason? it was all in an effort to protect the public....well, of course

so, i just took the next logical step (in my mind) going from the local governments (police) spying on people to the federal government (homeland security) spying on people...which of course has been happening for years now.

want to know more?

All these posters are brilliant! May I have permission to use a few as art in my latest T2 fan mission? They would hang in the Nazi-like fortress of the Mechanists who are experimenting in biomechanics and politically dominating the virtual world. I have temporarily hung a few in the Indoctrination and Ideology classrooms pending your permission. They will be replaced with other art if you don't want me to use them.

One of those cameras was mine, but after Suzie got the restraining order, I had to take it down. Besides, I have a new flame, so I needed the camera elsewhere.

The "surveillance" ... watching your neighbor, your friend, spying on someone, telling on people you knew to the authority, reminds me a great deal of the movie "In The Lives of Others".

The thing is who will monitor homeland security, who is watching who
if sometimes, such power go way out of line? Scary thought. :(
