Fortunately, only a stripped down BiB is likely ever to be used by LEA's in North America. Angelfire is too heavy for an Argus, although an LTA platform is ideal for WAAS persistent surveillance IMO. I get creeped out every time I see Angelfire software grind out something that happened three days ago. They take the crime/event and play it backwards--trace the bank robbers' car back to the house he slept in the night before. Manned aircraft already carry it over cities like Dayton as you can see from the article. Fortunately, cops can't afford an Argus. Cell phones might as well be personal trackers from the new technology that traces them not just tower to tower by antenna face to antenna face. The cell phone companies seem to keep that data a long time, too, if you haven't noticed. Who watches the watchers, indeed. IJO

I know it's greatly simplied, but for me I try to look at the big picture. Do you believe in humans living in a free society or do you believe humans should live in conditions of warlords and dictators where it's everyman for himself.
I choose a free society. That means we need to govern ourselves in a modern age of information, world trade, all with the bad human element that's in us all. That means laws, some of which may be found offensive, but that choice I make.
