Anyone else catch the article in today's paper which
admits that 100,000 people attending the Super bowl in
Tampa this last weekend were all individually photographed,
then their phots conmpared to FBI and loacal police files
for matches. They performed over 1,000,000,000 comparisons
PER MINUTE to do this. The article is in today's Orlando
Sentinel. Find it at Orlandosentinel.com DOn't tell me
that if they can perform 1,000,000 comparisons per minute
that they didn't SAVE those digital photos taken
for "other enforcement purposes."
While I realize there is no constitutional protection
against pictures taken "in public" I wonder about the
extended protections after a price is paid for entering the
(stadium) facility. Can and does Disney (and other such
places) legally perform this same act? Can private
businesses do this without consent? How about the extent of
their fparticipation with law enforcement for this purpose?
Sure would like some feed back.
