If you’re already paranoid that you’re being watched, then don’t go to New York’s Financial District in Manhattan. As of this September, the entire area will be monitored by video cameras, capturing images of everything, from cars to individual people. There’s no where to hide—Big Brother will see it all. The Lower Manhattan Security Initiative will be an extreme increase in security, modeling themselves after London’s “Ring of Steel.” If anything looks remotely suspicious, the closed-circuit cameras zoom in on it.

“If you circle a ‘sensitive’ location several times in your car, a camera inside a police command center will signal cops or security officers to check you out,” News Day reported. “If you leave a package for more than a prescribed time, say, 90 seconds, another camera will sound an alarm.”

The Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, as the plan is called, will eventually include 3,000 private and public cameras trained on the area south of Canal Street and relaying images in real time to a new command center; more than 100 license plate readers at bridges and tunnels and throughout the financial district; street barriers that can be moved into place automatically; and an undisclosed number of radiation detectors. The plan's projected price tag, excluding radiation detectors, is $90 million. (newsday)
