Britain's national security service MI5 is testing surveillance cameras
in enclaves of London and other Muslim-dominated area of Britain where
terrorists are known to operate.
Based on the latest satellite technology, the $10,000 cameras have a
ring of eight powerful lenses that can provide a panoramic view.
Software in the system can also indicate up to 50 behavior traits to
identify a person "as a potential terrorist."
Within a year the cameras will be able to signify "facial movements
indicating tension and other furtive behavior," confirmed an MI5 officer.
Known as "The Bug," the camera can pinpoint "individual groups loitering
or acting in a suspicious manner," the officer added.
The moment a target is identified, a ninth lens mounted on the base of
the system zooms in and follows every move of suspected individuals.
"It can track him down a street, in and out of a building and follow him
as he drives away," said the MI5 officer.
The cameras have undergone exhaustive tests in Muslim areas of London,
Bradford, Luton and other Midland cities.
