Norm Wattenberger: High-tech stakes: Casinos expand use of digital surveillance

[Norm Wattenberger]

Nothing new here. Just the inevitable, onward march of technology:

Customer tracking, facial recognition are among the tools being rolled out

The contract installers of this system, Alliance, are based in Tulsa, OK. Wonder if they area a low tech arm of Frank Abagnale, the individual from 'Catch Me If You Can' fame. He also works (and lives) in Tulsa.

The cabs in Vegas almost all have cameras now and they may send the images back realtime to the base. I say may because it looked like it had an antenna and one driver said it did but another said it didn't.

I wouldn't be surprised if casinoes had access. One poster here or on BJ21 mentioned a pitboss saying to look out for someone coming from the airport who might be in disguise - i.e. they had access somewhere.

[How's that for conspiracy theory btw ? It is true though about the cameras and someone's post]

As you walk around NYC you will see cameras. I thought they were just for tickets until I realized anyone could view through them. See:

Either you live on the seam between two satellite images or the buildings either side of 2nd avenue are tilted towards each other at alarming angles.

I live in the cartoon-land section of the city. The buildings bounce back and forth.
