Think you can hide in a crowd? Think again

My mom just sent this to me via email. E, I figured you might have some commentary on this. Teo, I recommend you stop reading now and shut off all communication devices. lol

Ever wonder how they found the Boston bombers in just a few days? This may help you to understand what the government is looking at.

This photo was taken in Canada and shows about 700,000 people.

Hard to disappear in a crowd. Pick on a small part of the crowd click a couple of times -- wait -- click a few more times and see how clear each individual face will become each time. Or use the wheel on your mouse.

This picture was taken with a 70,000 x 30,000 pixel camera (2100 Mega Pixels.) These cameras are not sold to the public and are being installed in strategic locations.

The camera can identify a face among a multitude of people.

Place your computer's cursor in the mass of people and double-click a couple times.

Scary sharp!! Not so easy to hide in a crowd anymore.

There would be the usual racial component along with P-R-O-F-I-L-I-N-G!!!!.... Remember when there were cameras installed on DeVillars downtown....High crime area....The NAACP and Movement of Change went nut and threatened lawsuits...The drug dealers moved out of the areas where there were cameras....The only ones not complaining and were supportive....the residents of the area....which by the way were mostly black......

I love high res pictures.  Here is one I attempted.  The focus isn't great, but there is a lot to see, nonetheless.  http://ericericson.net/Panoramic.jpg

It was taken out at Fort McRee on Memorial Day weekend 2007.  Pensacola Beach and Fort Pickens on the left, then the pass, then Fort McRee, with Big Lagoon on the right.  The area with all the boats is the old channel that is used for pleasure boats and it is a no-wake zone (idle speed only) and is a great anchorage.

That is really cool, Eric.

AMAZING

I'm sorry you had to see that, buddy. I tried to stop you.

Why don't they do stop and frisk on Wall St? That's where the real criminals are and most of the cocaine. JF

It doesn't matter if you hid or not, I couldn't find you. I wouldn't remember what you looked like if I only saw you once, or maybe even 3 or 4 times.
There's a name for nonrecognition of faces, but I don't know what it is. I just know that I have it. I heard that Brad Pitt has the same thing. If we ever talk together though, I'll probably remember your voice for a long time.

It's weird.

Looked it up. It's called prosopagnosia.

I won 't remember that word later either.

Awesome photo Eric.
