Criminals Can See It All
A red beacon light sweeps the screen, and at the word “Stop” the checkpoint belt screeches to a halt as a STOP sign slams in. In the monitor's “My Eyes” panel it's just a delivery box, a keypad and a delivery-request card, but in the “Criminal's Eyes” X-ray panel, the name, address and phone number on the shipping label, 4 digits with fingerprints left on them (→ a 24-slot combination chart fills up in 1 second), and a neon sign reading “I live alone” glow and get “FLAGGED” and checked one by one. After the light turns to evening, the label gets torn up, the keypad wiped, and men's shoes left by the front door, so the criminal's eye is fooled — “Two people live here?” — and it's “CLEARED.” The final “screening report” asks, “How many apply to you?”
