I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but it seems that many people that are quick to shout 1984! are lacking the facts. I think the main point of these cameras is not to track faces, but determine if something out of the ordinary is occuring as it happens. This is an "intellegent" video system. Basically what it does is detects bodies walking by, and zeros into packages that are left behind by travelers (or terrorists). This is a primary way that terrorist activities are carried out. There may be more to it, but I am unaware of any other utilities for this technology. It's sad to see so many paranoid people freaking out about cool technology before knowing any facts.

Why not just come out with a new version of the guy game!? That should get some more sales for Microsoft.
I know a lot of people that failed out of school cause of Counterstrike. That was one crazy addicting game!
