Double edge sword: Wouldn't it be nice/creepy if the person(s) that just bombed the Boston Marathon were caught using this "real time streetview army"..

I noticed the videos of the bombing started showing up right fast after the event. I don't know if there's a lot of video from the crowd, but as we move to a more pervasive surveillance society it's quite possible that we can now, for instance, look at Twitter for the past 24 or 48 hours, find all of the people who tweeted from around the bomb site area, and try to get eyewitness information from them...

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
