Wide network of cameras planned

An unprecedented number of video cameras will be trained on Boston during the Democratic National Convention, with Boston police installing some 30 cameras near the FleetCenter, the Coast Guard using infrared devices and night-vision cameras in the harbor, and dozens of pieces of surveillance equipment mounted on downtown buildings to monitor crowds for terrorists, unruly demonstrators, and ordinary street crime.

This is how the surveillance state will be built, folks. All they need is one "special event" per large city, and they will end up with a full surveillance network within a few years. You won't even see the "Department of Big Brother" created by Congress... you'll just see the cameras showing up in one city after another.
