Olympics to Have Massive Surveillance Network
sharkdba writes "CNN has an article about Olympic digital security. This should be of interest to /. readers since it's a supposedly largest surveillance network ever. Thousands of cameras are combined with software (AI agents?) to look for anomalies. Also words are parsed (scan equivalent to OCR). I understand the idea that if you're in public expect no privacy, but even CNN says: 'Although the state's right to take all necessary measures that it deems necessary is recognized, there is fear that these measures will have a negative impact on basic human rights.'"

sponsors paying to have people using the competitions product thrown the fuck out of the games.
Snowden and Manning are heroes.
'Although the state's right to take all necessary measures that it deems necessary is recognized, there is fear that these measures will have a negative impact on basic human rights.'"
WTF?
Constitutional Amendment 28:
"The state shall have the right to take all necessary measures that it deems necessary."
May we never see th
Start a massive movement via the Internet to have people stand around muttering the words "bomb", "gun", "kill", "rape", "bin Laden", "Allah", and "terrorist". They'll be swamped!
-insert a witty something-
from article "Although the state's right to take all necessary measures that it deems necessary is recognized, there is fear that these measures will have a negative impact on basic human rights.'" Where was CNN's sense of moral concern when the so called
Patriot act was being passed?
You've obviously been talking to a leftist, hardcore Democrat or European.
Their hatred of Bush makes it impossible to come up with real solutions to real problems. Disgusting isn't it?
For the record, I don't like Bush. But I am sane enough to realize that he is not Hitler; sane enough to realize that sometimes whoever is in power is only left with the option to make the least bad choice; sane enough to realize that Michael Moore and his sycophants are not the answer.
Maybe they are just feeling left out since most of the events are skewed toward the rich, industrialized, western world. How many suicide bombers do you think play tennis or do triple gainers from 10 meter diving boards? And the only floor exercises their women know is rolling on them while being beaten with a stick for trying to learn to read. I tell you, if the Olympic committee would just add a few token events that Arab muslims could excel in then I am sure they would step forward, hold hands, and sing "Feed The World" with the rest of the athletes. Come on, what would be the harm in handing out a few medals for playing Polo with camels, rifle butts, and an infidels head? Or a "muslim wedding party" freestyle event where teams fire machine guns into the air while playing random notes on a trumpet? And forget about Syncronized Swimming. Palestine will have a lock on the all new Synchronized Exploding. Everyone knows that hurting others is a sign of low self esteem and just think how good Muhamed will feel about himself after taking home the gold in the Decapitathalon. World peace is right around the corner. IOC members, are you listening?
Liberals call everyone Nazis yet they are the closest thing to it.
