You are being watched

You probably won't want to watch the whole of this Dubai television program--it's nearly half an hour--but it's a fascinating glimpse of how closely we are being watched as we go through life. I trust the United States is not as advanced in this activity as is Dubai--or Britain, for that matter. But I find it positively creepy that even a government television station can put together such a detailed video of the assassins from the moment they arrive at the airport, and through their various taxi rides, hotel rooms, and disguises. (I particularly liked the videos of the guy who enters his hotel room bald and leaves it with a fine head of hair.) Is there any place in Dubai without a surveillance camera? In London? In Washington? Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
