people who think we can ban camera phones in the US are MORONS. As the article said, whos going to find a camera the size of your fingernail??? Thats just stupid. And anyways, its always the one pervert who screws it up for everybody. Remember when cell phones first came out???

 In Warren Ellis's science fiction graphic novel series, Transmetropolitan, Listeners are people who wander around all day wearing bulky camera gear, broadcasting whatever they see and getting paid for what's interesting, conducting interviews. Freelancers.

You wonder why the equipment is bulky - maybe mobile access coverage in the U.S. doesn't get any better in the indeterminate length of time between the present and when Transmetropolitan happens - and what proportion of interesting stuff happens on the street, anyway.

But amateur camcorder video on news bulletins is long since commonplace. Phone video is available now. Maybe if I actually watched television news more often - I tend to listen to BBC Radio 4, it makes violent stories less intense.

 You don't like cameras at your company? Easy just ban them.

That will do it, right?
