Here's something else for LP to worry about: aiming covert cam at checkout counter to get pics of credit cards, beamed out to the parking lot. No doubt, the surveillance video on this will be all over YouTube once it's released (the video link on the page below is just the news story and doesn't show the device - not worth your time to watch): http://www.local6.com/technology/17196749/detail.html

These guys were pretty clumsy, using black tape, etc.; when it was spotted it looked like a bomb or something, so it kinda stuck out. Count on people figuring out better ways - especially if they can collude with employees. While it's not known if these guys actually got any card numbers, this story will spark all kinds of ideas...for instance, how hard would it be to do this in a dressing room, restroom, employee locker room, etc? Some of these cams are very, very small.

It's not very difficult to do an install in any of those places; we do it all the time without anyone noticing (except inside dressing room stalls). It would be folly to think that anything we can do they can't do as well.

These people (shoplifters), are coming up with even more ways to steal:mad: It's amazing to see just how slick they can be sometimes.
