Sector

The public or private sector providing services billed to clients as "security" has a problem.

It started when a technology - on the verge of being lost to common knowledge - began regularly performing miracles.  A profession which had always involved significant field work and was prone to errors ould now be carried out flawlessly by anyone trained in computers, awareness, and perception.

Don't tell Pinkerton or Thief, but profits have been guided steadily upward by a technology which exists as a virtual briefcase around our existing power, data, and entertainment delivery networks.

The only skill a prospective employee needs to master the technology is a silver tongue for suggestion.

Is it appropriately backwards that those who should be helping to uphold honesty, integrity, and safety have decided that:

• Hiding (avoiding confrontation or risk at the expense of accuracy and experience)
• Which will be difficult to distinguish from cowardice once all the facts are known.
• Misdirection (leaving out pertinent or material details so they have to be assumed into existence) also know as:
• The Con Game
• Flim Flam
• A Shell Game

Those are where our faith and trust should be placed.  Security and politics are about to become indistinguishable from each other.

Has anyone mentioned that the static fields which CCD cameras rely on are potentially the replacement for cellular connections which only futurists still dream about.

And there's nothing imaginary or made up about it:

• Method for connecting 2 or more points or areas of space using static fields
• Method of entanglement or confining, separating, dividing space-time for transmitting information

Do we really want a technology developed in secrecy - which works so "perfectly" no one needs to even know it exists - to be entirely in hands of those who:

• Dodge the rules that law enforcement must follow by providing services on private casino properties.
• Treat other citizens as cogs in a person based information engine
• Compromising a vehicles keyless entry or passenger safety system to stress and mentally wear down their prey.

...to determine the next thousand years of civilization's course?
