IBM are watching, listening, scanning & sniffing you

After the furore that Britain is turning into a CCTV nation, with one camera for every fourteen people, what excellent timing for IBM to reveal its Smart Surveillance System (S3) which is capable of analysing data from multiple sources, whether they be audio, video, radar or data from chemical detection sensors, in real-time, highlighting potential security threats. "The software automatically combs through those feeds, cross referencing and analysing the digital information. It issues alarms when it identifies suspicious activity"
