Holograms Help Protect Super Bowl

Apache4857 writes to tell us CNet is reporting that Homeland Security agents monitoring the Superbowl will be doing so in 3D. Using streams from two cameras, the LifeVision 3D system is able to project images onto a 20-inch screen that is equipped with a depth tube. This depth tube makes images appear to rise 30 inches off the screen and sink 30 inches into the screen allowing real world volumes and distances to be displayed accurately. Using this system security officials will be able to search sidewalks, monitor faces, and even peer under vehicles.

    i couldn't help but notice a few of your statements

    "Americans (and our allies...but they're not first priority). "

    and you wonder why people hate us

    "poorly funded and undermanned law enforcement/military of countries such as Iraq"

    which we bombed/killed/mamed on one mans whim - yea.. that seems right, now we half to do the policing our selves because there is no one left..

    "I suppose I shouldn't be deployed to Iraq right now"

    no you shouldn't

    " nor should all of my brothers in arms."

    no they shouldn't

    "You want something done right? You've gotta do it yourself."

    good you under stand this.. that means that you can read my post and realize that you have a closed mind and don't bother to take the time to understand what is going on.. and that is good for you becuase they don't want you to think about it.. just keep killing peole for no damn good reason.. it keeps everyone in work.. war is good for biz..

    next time to take a shot at some one or show force to solve a problem i want you to stop.. write down their name and everything they have done to desirve the punishment and all the evidence, and if you feel that you could take that and show your children and they would agree and understand then good.. becuase you know.. we used to care about people and we used to atleast do that for our "citizens" , and to an extent we do.. so if we really feel it is our place to police the rest of the world lets atleast give them the same damn respect.

    If some one hates you it is for a reason.. telling them to stop/killing them isn't going to fix the issue.. you must stop and figure out WHY they hate you.. correct that and then you can start moving in the direction..

    Don't get me wrong i am not anti military, i understand the need.. I am anti war without a need.. war should only be in self defence.. the same way it is when someone personaly attacks you.. because they have a gun doesn't give you the right to kill them.. remember you have a gun too and that would mean they would have the right to kill you.. in the end you both die and nothing has been solved....
