$8M for Airport SpyCams

Five U.S. airports will share nearly $8 million worth of new surveillance cameras, thanks to the Obama Administration’s stimulus package, says the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International, Washington National, Spokane International, Gerald R. Ford International and Boise, Idaho airports will split $7.7 million for advanced closed-circuit surveillance systems, according to DHS chief Janet Napolitano. DHS has spent more than 20 percent of the $3 billion assigned to it by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and will likely have given out half the money by the end of September, according to DHS. One third of that money is allotted to the TSA for aviation security projects.
