You meant "mean, murderous suicides from off-campus, on campus."
They had a system in place, they implemented it, and it worked well. They should keep it. Only thing they could do better is acquire the reputation of being able to take the bad guy out by shooting him first. This kinda redirects them...

Why they hell would he do this?
NUKE SCIENTIST EXCHANGE PLANNED Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel B. Poneman is working on a major Obama administration initiative that would renew scientist exchanges between U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories and Chinese nuclear facilities. The idea is aimed at promoting openness and transparency by China’s military about its secret, large-scale buildup of nuclear weapons, according to U.S. officials. Critics say the plan is similar to an exchange program in the 1990s that sent U.S. nuclear scientists to China and produced one of the worst cases of nuclear espionage. Secrets about every deployed warhead in the U.S. arsenal were compromised, including the W-88 small nuclear warhead deployed on submarine-launched missiles. “We’ve seen this movie before, and it has a bad ending,” one official said. http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/20...ing-105581724/

The first steps of such negotiations include exchanges like this. The whole slander about Wu is stupid fearmongering. You're smart enough to ignore it for a much more important goal such as a nuclear arms control treaty.

So I read a little story about that California arsonist, Harry Burkhart, this morning. This is the guy who burned dozens of cars in California, and cursed out the USA in the courtroom during his mom's fraud trial. Your typical unhinged nut.
Apparently, the local cops sent security footage to the feds, and they were able to ID him from that footage. It's all anonymous sources, but did the the Feds just recognize him the way we recognize people, or is facial recognition technology advanced to the point now that he was identified by computer?

Especially as bad as security footage is. Any local footage I've seen (if you recognize this man) is so crappy it could be ME and I wouldn't know it.

Yes. The nuclear weapon does not go around the squirrel

I think this is pretty hot topic in security, I've seen TV shows where thay can follow an individual around town as they appear on different security cameras, the eye - eye - mouth triangle spacing is apparently quite distinctive, even from a blurry picture, could certainly be used to narrow a search to a reasonable number of people.

But if the squirrel turns it's head and looks at the hunter out of the corner of it's eyes, wouldn't the triangles have different ratios of sides and angles as it moves around the tree ? Given the millions of faces and the limited number of pixels in a screen display, this technology could be misused the same way "fiber analysis" and "tooth marks" in flesh wounds have been in the past. Computerized recognition might well be sufficient to point to an individual from a relatively small group of known arsonists. But it makes for good PR for the FBI and TV programming. |

No. Technology CAN pick you out of a crowd. That tech was pioneered by the casinos, who use it to enforce blacklists of cheaters. If you get tossed out of a casino, you are banned from the rest by the time you get to the next one. Even with disguises, they can find you.
I can only assume that the government has even better technology available.

The casinos are using clear pictures, not half-assed video.
