Blame it on Moore's law.  Surveillance technology is getting cheaper and
cheaper everyday.

Subject: [funsec] Chicago: Daley Wants Security Cameras at Bars

I tell ya, folks -- we're living in more and more of a 'surveillance
society' every day.

Via USA Today.

Surveillance cameras - aimed at government buildings, train platforms and
intersections here - might soon be required at corner taverns and swanky
nightclubs.

Mayor Richard Daley wants to require bars open until 4 a.m. to install
security cameras that can identify people entering and leaving the building.
Other businesses open longer than 12 hours a day, including convenience
stores, eventually would have to do the same.

Daley's proposed city ordinance adds a dimension to security measures
installed after the Sept. 11 attacks.

The proliferation of security cameras - especially if the government
requires them in private businesses - troubles some civil liberties
advocates.
