These posters are fucking scaring me! Watch "Brazil" and look at the various posters seen in the background to scenes, like the one with three suited blokes in Sam's office that says "Who can you trust?"

Orwell was bloody right 'nall

It's incredible... Either the agencies who made these posters are very subversive, or the people who commissioned the posters have no scrupules in blatantly showing their political agenda's.

What'll happen is that the CCTV/software will instantly spot suspicious behaviour, and when somebody comes in the next morning they'll be able to give the grainy footage to the police/news crews who will say 'Here are the pictures of the person that blew a train up 12 hours ago.'

You can film people all you like, but unless there are people able to react instantly to actually prevent something happening, you might as well not bother.

Far more likely they'll just close the station and claim you 'caused a major evacuation of [a] mainline rail station[...] after his deliberate actions caused police to believe he had explosives'. See here, under 2005-10-13. Bingo, public nuisance offence.

Reminds me of this

That was hilarious! I love the Onion.

"In the wake of industry-wide concern about the safety of the neckbelts, Chrysler is also reexamining the so-called "shrapnelizing" explosive dashboard which became a standard safety option on all new models in 1995.

"By splintering into literally thousands of rapidly spinning jagged fragments, which ricochet around the car's interior at tremendous speeds, tearing any living tissue inside to shreds in seconds, these dashboards may represent a significant safety risk to motorists," read a report submitted to CEO Robert Eaton by a Chrysler safety engineering team."
