  1. National Security is an overused buzzword... by LostCluster · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This tech is only being billed for a national security use because that's where the government wasteful spending is these days. If everybody was concerned about hurricanes for some strange reason, then this tech would be sold for its weather uses.

    This monitor can only display a super-high-res security camera image if a super-high-res camera was installed too... and that resolution on a map would be wasted if they don't have a different datapoint for each pixel. I'm putting this one under "cool tech without any real use".

    What you fail to realize is that it's spelled "National Security", but it's pronounced "GRANT FUNDING".
