Go get them

It's about time something good is coming from public camera surveillance. Apparently it can't prevent bombings, but as long as the terrorists don't blow themselves up or fling themselves into buildings with planes, they might get caught after all. That'll teach them!
Chalk up one for surveillance vs. privacy.
A famous quote accredited to Dr. Benjamin Franklin:Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
And similarly convincing:There never was a good war or a bad peace.
Think for yourself.
Just heard in the news that the British police has stated that they do not see an alternative to shooting subjects in the head to fight suicide bombers, not even in the light of the recent shooting of an innocent, legal Brazilian resident of the UK.
How crazy can things get?
