Now they will definitely find Bin Laden..(if that's what they really want)

DARPA has always been experimenting with different kinds of surveillance techniques but a recent contract between DARPA and Kitware reveals how serious they are.

Apparently, DARPA has promised $6.7 million to design a system that would enable it to monitor live video feeds and search large volumes of archived videos for activities of interest. This will help them to match similar events from the past and the present to prevent an attack, predict an event or any sort of terrorist working pattern.

"During the Cold war, we used aircrafts and sattelites to take still pictures and then the analysts reviewed them one at a time to identify the locations of factories, missile silos etc. Now with video surveillance we will be looking at people and their behavior in public" said an expert in space and intelligence matters.

This system,expected to be completed by 2011, will only be used in areas of Iraq and Afghanistan. DARPA will spend over $814 million over the next decade on its Surveillance and Countermeasures Technology project.
