[TriLUG] OT (but with nerd question): City Manager's report on "The Event"

[Greg Brown]

Not only big brother but perhaps even a jilted ex-spouse who might hire 
someone to kidnap little (insert name here) or do the dirty work 
themselves.  Or maybe the system abuser will be some sicko who just 
wants to likes to kidnap and abuse kids... or sell them on the black 
market.  Identify some latchkey kids, follow them virtually around 
school and after via the Internet, identify normal patters of 
behavior.. you know when they get off the bus, how long they have to 
walk home, how long they will be at home alone, how long you have to 
abduct them.. yeah, bad idea.

Honestly, though, I wonder what John Walsh thinks about systems like 
this.
