Off topic, but I was in Walmart one day, and I usually try to avoid the place.
As I was walking in I noticed how many TV cameras they had on the top
of the building. Probably at least 20. I also noticed all the cameras inside.
Probably add another 100. I think Wal-Mart has more cameras than
Vegas casinos!



I doubt that. I knew an EE who designed the first TV surveillance
system for a Vegas casino. They spent almost a year installing that
system. He died a few years ago, so i can't get an exact number, but
there was a decent sized room full of racks of monitors, and people to
watch them all.

Do you think every one of those cameras at that Wal-Mart are real?
The ones in casinos are. Not only do they track their customers, but
their employees. There isn't one spot inside a casino where they can't
see what you are doing.
