« Takes me right back to that strip mall on Main Street... | Main | Neither tough, roguish, friendly, nor charming »

The transparent society

This little [sic] item has excited much comment in the blogosphere, but I will link to it as well as an example of one of the overlooked reasons that the proposed ban on cameras in New York City subways was a bad idea: crime deterrence.

Put the gun away, mister. You're on Candid Cam.

The title of this post comes from the David Brin polemic.
