That's because, I suppose, most of the people who go around the Middle East killing people are American. Take your people home and the world will be a better place.

Take our people home and there won't BE a world. Obviously, you are not tuned in to why they're there, are you ?

Big difference! If they are walking around on the street I know they are there. With cameras they can watch it days or weeks later. But then I value my privacy more than some others.

So what if they can watch it days or weeks later ? If you weren't afraid to have everyone see you on the street today, why would you be afraid to have them see that same thing 3 weeks from now ? Whatever it is you're thinking, I'm not seeing any sense to it.

PS - the public streets aren't private. They are PUBLIC. You DON'T HAVE "privacy" on a public street. (Pheeeeeeww!! high-pitched whistle)

Talk to our leaders, this nonsense has been going on for decades. We want it to stop too.

Sounds like you also have no clue as to why US troops are where they are. Maybe you should find out before you comment in a forum, using words like "nonsense"

Maybe you don't get it. That would be your problem. I would just rather not have video of me picking my nose or scratching my ass show up on the news a year later.;)

What are you talking about? Take your bullyboys home and the world will be happy, and you can all shoot one anothers' children every day without anyone bothering you at all.

He certainly doesn't get it. Likely he will say something to the effect of, you wouldn't be on the news unless blah blah blah.

He also doesn't get that video tape isn't eye witness, you could simply cover your face and defeat them. Billions of dollars worth of cameras beaten by a fifty cent bandana.

Protectionist is a reductionist.

I have a question.....if a camera manages to to capture an image that allows the worst of this world to be stopped, perhaps saving a few people from dying, losing limbs, or dealing with a loss that changes life for the worst.

Are you so uncomfortable in public that you would prevent public safety to stave of the possible imagined critique of being YOU?

being able to move around in the public without being watched by big brother is a liberty. Once liberty is removed for safety we have neither.

I am not so trusting of officials, they are often abusing their positions.

If the powerful keep the weak down, then become a power in your own right. If all you're going to do is whine and play the sour grapes card, you deserve to be stepped on. Personally, I'd don't like to live in fear of bogymen. More fun to manipulate and depose them. :)

You are almost completely incoherent. Please don't respond unless you can form a coherent thought.

I'm plenty coherent. Seeing as your compensation is deficient, I'll spell it out for you. I called you a weak coward.

Okay then, that us nice to know.

Why? Because I don't think surveillance cameras are wise practical or realistic?

Watch out, there is a brilliant person here everybody, calling people cowards on the internet, oh my I am so incredibly insulted, what ever will I do?

:giggle:

Wan't trying to insult you, I was simply making an observation. Your profile pic leaves you with no dignity to insult in the 1st place.

Okay, opinion noted. still don't think your point is of any validity. Pathetically attempting to insult my avatar (its very sexy to me) and my fortitude doesn't make your point any more valid.

Really what you are saying is "Polydectes is right", you're point should stand on its own without the need for your, "observations".

I guess this says how I feel better than I could.

Maybe your real solution is to not pick you nose or scratch your ass. There's no reason for anyone to be concerned about a video of them "showing up" a year later, from a public place where they chose to go and allow countless people to see them. Maybe you're just excessively bashful ? Unless you're engaging in some type of improper activity (illegal ?)

I'm talking about the 100+ nuclear arsenal of Pakistan, what did you think I was talking about ? I'm also talking about the training camps of al Qaeda where radicalized Muslims (like Tamarlane Tsarkaev it's beginning to look like) go to learn how to make bombs, and than go back to their Western country and kill people there. You are apparently clueless.

I've already refuted that lame notion in another thread. Oh, this is a bit tiresome. OK, here's your security education, free of charge.

Even if a suspect's face is covered there still are identifying characteristics which could be noted. Height, weight, general body shape, hands, ears, gait, style of movement, voice, any unusual behavioral characteristics, etc.

As for wearing masks, I think that all face-coverings for people 12 years old and older (on Halloween) should be banned, including Muslim face coverings like burkas and niqabs (Islam should be banned entirely, as a security threat & public menace).
