Even if you own an incorruptible camcorder, someone might still come
and lock you up/torture you until you yield the secret. Distributing
parts of the secret among several people just makes it tougher, not
impossible.
I think ubiquitous surveillance is a remarkably bad idea. Once the
infrastructure's in place, the potential for misuse is gigantic.
