Boston Bombing News from CS Monitor & McClatchy

Jonathan Landay of McClatchy:

The peace of a historic and festive event was shattered Monday when two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people, including an 8-year-old, and injuring at least 130 more.

The near-simultaneous blasts shattered windows and sent runners and onlookers fleeing through curtains of thick gray smoke. Police and emergency personnel rushed to aid casualties lying on the blood-stained pavement.

Once drones over US skies become plentiful, I expect a rich market for "Not Engaged in Combat" hats, wrist bands, t-shirts, etc.

FBI begins installation of $1 billion face recognition system across America

A billion dollars. A billion dollars for this sucker. Divided 50 times that would mean $20,000,000 for each state were it sent out as revenue sharing. Not a lot, but at least take some pressure off the states. As it is, who needs this? Read below the fold...

Let’s not be naive. Trapwire has nothing to do with “terrorism.” Trapwire is all about preventing a "1789" reaction when your new Libertarian overlords take away Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance and the minimum wage.

Toon of the day

Of course the artist, Scott Stantis, is a Republican whose editorial work appears in the Chicago Tribune, so he's most likely a stinking hypocrite. Still, it's a shock to see a GOPer swerving left of "our" "Democratic" President - especially on civil liberties. Read below the fold...

The surveillance state

Susie has the latest on pervasive government surveillance. I just want to state the obvious, pervasive government surveillance did not prevent that AIDS clinic from burning. It did not protect the people of Aurora, Colorado, and it did not protect the Sikhs in Oakcreek, Wisconsin.

London has the most pervasive surveillance system anywhere in the world. It was completely useless in the recent riots. Surveillance systems don't protect people because they are not designed to protect people, they are designed to control people. Read below the fold...

A question without an answer, yet...

The premiere screenings for any huge movie have typically had either theatre or movie studio security monitoring for cameras, as well as monitoring exits for stealthier pirates.

At a Thursday evening Denver screening (a benefit one), I've been told that all cellphones had to be secured, and any phone calls must be made outside the theatre, because WB guards were there with detectors to check whether piracy was taking place.

With such an aggressive stance taken that same day at another theater, was there either WB or house security at the Aurora site, when the massacre took place? If so, are they being questioned about what they saw, and is that why we haven't heard from them? Read below the fold...
