    License plate scanning? Facial recognition? Cell phone tracking? Chemical / radiological sniffing?

    Sure is odd to have a very public piece of infrastructure get erected over and over and yet not get an explanation about what it is.

    It's probably worth journalists / private citizens following-up with FOIA request(s).

    I like the conspiracy theory they have nothing into them and it's a cover up for an art project.

    Wow, they look straight from some dystopian sci-fi movie. All it's missing are few turrets on top.
