WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon is developing an urban surveillance system that would use computers and thousands of cameras to track, record and

Police, scientists and privacy experts say the unclassified technology could easily be adapted to spy on Americans.
The project's centerpiece is groundbreaking computer software that is capable of automatically identifying vehicles by size, color, shape and license
tag, or drivers and passengers by face.
