Not very once the ink's affordable. And why shouldn't we? It'll make "Learn electronics" books so much easier to publish, and maybe lower the barriers to a whole new generation of hardware hackers. Woo freedom:-)
Then clearly what we need are more complex measures:
* Higher resolution cameras for more accurate info
* Links between cameras so as someone moves out of sight of one the next one automatically picks them up and tracks them
* More cameras so that the dirty crims can't hide in an unobserved corner
* Gait recognition like this is aiming for so you can id someone without prints or a face
* Total removal of the right to privacy that the liberal terrorist sympathiser communists bleat on about all the time
While we're at it, what about
* compulsory ID cards so we can identify people when they are caught
* Tracking chips in your skull so we can do away with cameras all together
* Screens on every surface reminding us that it's for our protection.
"They had mastered the ultimate technology, the ability to alter physical reality by will alone. They called this ability "tuning". But they were dying. Their civilization was in decline..."
This would seem to be a full-colour version of the test. I confess I was surprised to see the "Aahh! don't let people see the blots!" reaction as I've seen a couple of sites claiming to show the official blots before. Maybe they were cunning misdirection to keep folks from preparing for their psyc evaluation.
I just came back from a quick trip around Europe. On my week of riding on the continent I covered over 2000 miles and I saw about a dozen speed cameras, and only a few cctv cameras in the most public places. When I got back into the uk there was a pair of cctv cameras greeting all arrivals, and on the ride home I noted as many speed cameras (or at least their lines on the road to make you think there's a camera there) in the 300 miles home as in the entire previous week.
To my knowledge europe hasn't been turned to rubble under a tide of terrorist actions, and the fact that the folks who blew up some tube trains and busses on 7/7 were captured on cctv didn't stop them blowing themselves up. It's almost as if all these anti-terror and anti-paedophile measures don't provide the safety for the masses that they are supposed to.
I'm forced to wonder why the government continues to push these things (along with ever-more intrusive communication surveilance as mentioned here in the past). The only conclusion I can draw is that they want more power for themselves and ability to thwart opposition, not terrorism. I may be paranoid, but V is looking more and more like a documentary every day.

Criminals know how to defeat simple measures

That's amazing. With this and adblock I may never be irritated at sites on the internet again. 1000 thanks

Weren't we all ?
