Rep. Tom Tancredo's political ad depicting a hooded man leaving a backpack in a mall could serve more than one purpose. In a test of wits, does the corresponding explosion indicates:
1) That an illegal alien wormed his way into the American Heartland to detonate a device.
2) That a company that sells exception detection surveillance survices will soon have a huge boom in sales and profits.
Time will show if one or both are true. However Tom's commercial came at the right time for Carlyle affiliate ARINC, which makes "advanced video surveillance technology that uses 'exception detection' software to pinpoint suspicious activities, such as unattended packages and suspicious persons." They also have a stake in another firm that makes robots capable of removing bombs.
News reports indicate the Maryland Transit Authority as ARINC's newest customer. Might they also target malls? If so, will Rep. Tancredo get a commission for the sales leads his commercial generates? Pay for performance is the poison that distorts everything, that is if Tom can become any more toxic. Now they just need a few bombs to scare up more business...
