Orwell was a prophet.

Amen to that.

LOL... they took pains to add this disclaimer on page 17 of the PDF:

5.4 Restrictions on Surveillance

Certain laws of the United States place restrictions on the use of video surveillance, including some of the capabilities envisioned within the Combat zones That See concept. It is the policy of DARPA, the DoD, and the U.S. Government to respect and obey all applicable laws. Combat zones That See capabilities that are covered by such laws will be employed, tested, and demonstrated only in situations where they are fully allowable by all such laws. CTS technology is intended for use in conjunction with military force protection and urban combat operations, not homeland security or law enforcement. CTS technology will be demonstrated only within the observable boundaries of government installations where video surveillance is expressly permitted, and operational deployment areas outside the United States where it is consistent with all local laws.

This could become far worse than "1984" - Orwell didn't foresee the proliferation of millions of tiny inexepensive solid state color TV cameras and computers to monitor them.
