• Of course cameras won't make us safer. It's a ploy by politicians to make citizens feel more secure. The cameras will help in catching potential terrorists but will not prevent an act from happening. The government has shown time and again that when given an inch they will take a mile. The skirting of FISA law to catch mobsters and pimps in Las Vegas, the circumventing of the law to compel telecom companies to turn over customer information, and the spying on ordinary citizens is proof positive that the government will capitalize on any opportunity to gain more power. Remember the Republican National Convention? NYPD ran surveillance on people without their knowledge. This will become the norm unless the citizenry voice their opposition to this unnecessary barrage of intrusive measures.
