Subject: crimeshirt

Eugene Leitl (#12958) reports on the "lifeshirt," which may soon monitor a 
person's vital signs and immediately radio them to a remote storage site.

Similarly--if perhaps not so soon--there will be "crimeshirts" or just plain 
"information shirts"--and houses and cars--that will automatically send and 
record a continuing record of everything seen or heard (and eventually even 
smelled) in your vicinity. This will make violent crime much harder, and 
low-tech crime virtually impossible because of the certainty of leaving 
clues. (In England, one or two towns have already gotten good results, as I 
recall, with cameras in public places.)
