Better Living Through Technology

I read in a press release that Lockheed Martin (LM) has developed counter-insurgency (COIN) surveillance technology based on the idea that insurgents behave like street gangs. Chicago has been using a technology named I-CLEAR (Illinois Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting) on a daily basis to track crime trends and check criminal backgrounds of wanted offenders. The technology has been expanded by the military to protect U.S. troops and Iraqis from homicide bombers and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). How cool is that?
