The Snooper Bowl: At Super Bowl XXXV, the Tampa Bay, statute enforcement department deploys facial recognition scanners in an effort to catch terrorists.
Postscript: Out of the over 100,000 U.s. enemy/subject/citizens scanned no more than 19 were determined to have criminal records, containing nothing greater than petty offenses. Not one arrest was made due to the high-tech surveillance system. But there were several false positives.
