Oh well.. just a thought. Shot down in flames. :)

  Don't feel that bad, it's just a case of: just because something is cool doesn't mean that there are not implications that would make it a bad idea. The techniques themselves may be useful in other domains where there aren't as many privacy implications.

  I think it's a good idea to leverage technology . . . that just might not be the right idea . . . How about an app you can choose to run if you're in a terrorist/robbery/hostage situation. That will allow the authorities to use your mic and cameras to get a picture of what is going on. How about using interconnected sensors (around towns/large crowd areas) to detect when a vehicle's weight is abnormally large (car/truck bomb). Then alert authorities to the vehicle. A type of bomb proof enclosed area you have to walk though to enter a stadium that sniffs for explosives and uses imaging to determine if you are a threat, you could be detained inside if wearing an explosive vest for example or have a gun. This would prevent bombers from being in a crowd when detected. Keep thinking outside the box.
