‘Did you know there’s a camera?’ Considering terror, surveillance and security
For this week’s tech segment, we’re looking at surveillance as an aid to terror investigations.

Grant Fredericks is an analyst with Forensic Video Solutions, a company that he created to analyze video evidence in criminal and civil investigations. And Bruce Schneier is a security technologist and author of ?Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly About Security in an Uncertain World.?
