Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security head, praises city's security cameras. Now they can watch crime as it happens and still not stop or solve it!

Napaolitano (who seems illiterate and a dullard) mat have the TSA check shoes and underwear, but can't stop a sophisticated plastic bomb put on by a wartime killer in an airport ground crew. Chicago's Daley wants every citizen disarmed and an easy target of criminals (his constituents). Now they have an overload of invasive cameras watching everyone around town, but who's really watching. Police investigate crime and give tickets if they see traffic violations. They don't stop real hard crime, they follow behind it. Hard crime is prevented by the ability to defend yourself and the criminals left unsure of who's 'packing' heat!

Big Deal, doofus!
