Here's someone named Joel from KOMO 4 TV (and his cameraman) interviewing some people at the Seattle ferry dock. He was asking about a new program which will take a photo of the license plate of every car that boards the ferry. It's a homeland security program.
The questions Joel asked were about whether the program seemed likely to keep people safer, whether it seemed like a good investment of public money, whether it seemed like a good use of technology, and how comfortable were they with it from a civil liberties perspective.
I got the impression that the ladies he was interviewing were pretty comfortable with the program, though I didn't hear their answers to the other questions.
Guess I'll have to tune in to KOMO!

Update: And here's the view facing the other direction on the dock (actually taken from the ferry before it took off).
Update 2: Can't find any info online about this purported license plate program; wonder when details will surface? Maybe it's not a done deal, but still.
