A relatively simple way to monitor suspicious activity without new
technology would be to make GPS units manditory for all licenced motor
vehicles. The necessary infrastructure to continously monitor all
vehicular motion could then be continously
examined and sophisticated GIS/mapping overlays could (if the proper
software was implemented) provide a relatively cheap anti-terrorist
system that could be in place in 2-5 years.
This would be intrusive to personal privacy but might there be civilian
offsets to make this useful?
