Big Brother

Baltimore is installing a closed circuit television system in the city to monitor the streets.

Sure, I'll agree of all the places I would not want to be at night, right after Newark, Baltimore is ranked pretty high up there. But a video system that allows police helicopters and patrol cruisers to watch every street block seems a little invasive.

The best part is, its all in the name of terrorism. After all, if terrorists are going to hit a target, its going to be the ghettos of Baltimore.

A major terror strike that wipes out Baltimore is sort of like the use of the atomic bomb in the movie Independence Day: The government nukes Houston in effort to wipe out the aliens. Just like that city, I don't think many people would care if Baltimore was removed from the map.
