It is also:
a) on private property
b) privately owned
c) the camera signal is not broadcast all over the world for anyone to
see.
d) not very effective. Even Secretary Donna Shalala has been robbed at
an ATM with a camera. She wasn't armed, and dropped to the ground and
screamed like a banshee. Thats a quite 'impressive' way for a US Cabinet
Secretary to have to behave in order to deter a criminal attack.
