Speaking of security cameras, I just saw the ATM cam photos of a  
suspect in another murder case.

How come we can get beautiful pictures of faraway galaxies, the  
surface of Mars and satellite photos that allow you to check on your  
cat, yet the banks don't seem to be able to afford anything that will  
produce a photo that would allow you to recognize an elephant at 6 feet?

Of course I suspect the photos released to the public have been  
intentionally degraded, even when they are asking "do you recognize  
this person?". Recognize them? I'm hard put to identify most of those  
pics as homo sapiens.
