Anthrax? The F.B.I. Yawns. And on street crime prevention

| No Comments


The F.B.I.'s bumbling before 9/11 is water under the bridge

The article sounds like something from an X-Files episode. Rouge people in the government, safe houses, military connections to domestic bio weapons s and all.

Street lighting is up to four times as effective in preventing street crimes as CCTV. 9 months ago a lot of people talked about having tv surveillance of public areas; this article is more about how bad idea that is. (It doesn't even work for fighting petty street crime...)
