### Wow, this is really cool! Spike, you read it? Maybe we wouldn't even
need to set up all those cameras, we could simply tap into the phone
network. I imagine tower owners might sell you tracking data, say, a plan
covering the 1 mile radius from your home, and a few minutes of roaming.
Yes, roaming with a cell phone might assume a totally different meaning -
peeking into places far away from your regular haunts.
I wonder when this system will come to Virginia. If we had it now, the
Virginia sniper would hardly even make it into national news - he would have
been caught after the first shooting.
