Flock cameras are just TSA, except everywhere.
It’s surveillance over actual security.
Sure, we could focus on actual threats, but targeting obvious threats would be mean, so instead we’re going to molest Grandma and ban you from bringing toothpaste on the plane. That way we can feel good about how non-discriminatory we are while accomplishing absolutely nothing and also wasting a metric buttload of money.
And if people object, we’ll accuse them of wanting another 9/11, because clearly an obese dropout with an IQ of 85 is the best possible last line of defense against terrorism.
Heaven forbid we address the actual problem—importing foreigners who hate us. So instead we are going to make airport security as stupid and expensive as humanly possible and then on top of that we’re going to illegally hoover up the electronic communications of everyone in America.
Flock is what would happen if we decided the best way to stop crime would be to get post-9/11 airport security drunk and then have it get bizzay and make a baby with COVID-era “contact tracing.”
It’s all so stupid it’s hard to believe it’s real.
